MOUNTAIN MIKE confirmed the positives of his bumper debut second in the spring when filling the same spot on hurdles bow here (20f) 26 days ago and, with further progress in the offing now upped further in trip, he shades the vote to come out on top. Paul Nicholls' representative Wicked Thoughts and Libre de Choeur are others fancied to be in the shake up.

    Verdict
    Showed encouragement when second only start in bumpers and, following 8 months off, again shaped well when second of 10 in a maiden hurdle here (20f) 26 days ago, headed run-in but staying on. Open to improvement with his stamina now tested further.

    Verdict
    Winning Irish pointer. No great shakes in bumpers but showed an aptitude for hurdling when second in 12-runner novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.8f) in December. Appeals as the type who will be suited by this increase in trip.

    €22,000 3-y-o, €20,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Tough Trade and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Grand Turina. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Nov 10). Market should guide on Rules/hurdles bow.

    Verdict
    Point bumper winner who offered something to work on sent hurdling after 9 months off when fifth of 14 in an Exeter maiden (16.7f) 24 days ago. Up in trip and could do with learning to settle (also pulled hard in bumper when trained by owner).

    Verdict
    Bred to be a stayer and shaped in kind when fourth on bumper debut at Southwell (15.8f) in May. Similarly never figured when fifth of 7 on return in a bumper here 26 days ago but this increase in trip promises to suit now hurdling.

    Fetched €90,000 as a 3-y-o but proved weak in betting and ultimately showed little when pulled up in a Newbury maiden hurdle for Nicky Henderson in November. Looks best watched on the back of that and since switched yards.

    Verdict
    Wide-margin winner of sole point and also landed a Musselburgh bumper last winter. Runner-up at short odds on hurdles bow at Southwell (24.3f) in October and looked set to fill same spot prior to falling 2 out at Doncaster (20.8f) a month later. Remains with potential back from a break.
