Verdict
A chance is taken on LUNA DE CASTANA, who shaped well over this sort of trip on her penultimate outing at Warwick and, although that form isn't particularly robust, she's a lengthy mare who promises to have more to offer now going handicapping. El Bandido Pancho is interesting making a swift return to hurdling, with Atreides likely to bounce back from a poor showing at Wetherby when shaping as if amiss.

VerdictLeft a low-key hurdling debut well behind when fifth of 10 in 19f novice at Warwick in January. Unsuited by drop in trip at Chepstow on qualifying run and he's an interesting handicap debut. - 2. AtreidesJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Neil MulhollandF: 33-42324P

VerdictRemains a maiden but produced a career best when second over C&D in November. Followed that with a creditable effort at Bangor 3 weeks later but shaping as if amiss at Wetherby on most recent outing. Not hard to see him bouncing back.

VerdictFailed to get competitive in maiden/novice hurdles towards the end of 2024 and was pulled up on handicap debut at Sandown last month but it's too soon to be writing him off given his fairly useful bumper form.

VerdictLet down by his jumping when pulled up in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, soft, 9/2) on debut over fences 28 days ago, beaten some way out. Makes a swift return to hurdling and looked set to go close when falling 2 out on handicap debut at Lingfield in December.
