Grumpy Stumpy Disappointing at Perth last month over hurdles; still a maiden over timber so surprising to see him go over fences this soon.
Hachty Boy (FR) Won novice handicap hurdle at Hereford last term; decent effort at same track on chase debut last time. May have to settle for minor honours again.
Kiltulaa Lad (IRE) Ex-Philip Hobbs-trained gelding who has shown signs of temperament; ability may be rekindled by change of stables.
Maidstone Magic (IRE) Did not show much on rules debut; impossible to recommend.
Maidstone Magnet (IRE) Form figures tell their own story.
Sheer Genius (IRE) Useful progressive novice hurdler last season; type to do well over fences and sure to have been well schooled.
Swoosh No sign of ability so far.
