	Win	Place
All Well And GoodS Bowen - O Murphy212	11/8	10/21
Won the second of his three bumpers (all 2m on good) and runner-up in the other two (2m, good), makes hurdle debut in a race lacking depth and he's a major player if fully tuned up on first run since last September.
Jasmin BellevueN de Boinville - N J HendersonF2/6U	3/1	5/6
Soundly beaten on hurdle debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft, albeit a warm race) and unseated mid-race at Hereford (2m3f, good) three weeks ago, however, the drop in trip could suit this headstrong point runner-up, who is in top hands (yard also runs Katana) and should appreciate this left-handed track, chance.
Sleeping LatePaul O'Brien - Mrs P Sly43	9/2	11/10
Has shown some promise when making the frame on his first two starts (2m, good to soft/good), his form isn't overly strong but it's better than any of the others have achieved over hurdles, respected.
Dilly's GunnerJamie Hamilton - M & D Easterby25	8/1	17/10
Runner-up on debut in bumper here (2m, soft) in December, failed to build on that when fifth at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in January but this half-sister to connections' useful hurdler Sam's Gunner is not ruled out each-way on her first hurdle start.
KatanaJ J Slevin - N J Henderson56	12/1	12/5
Unable to threaten on either start when fifth in a bumper at Wincanton (1m7f, good) then 29l sixth over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft), however, he's with a leading trainer (one of two for the yard) and could take a sizeable step forward at some stage.
Solent GatewayB S Hughes - D McCain Jnr43	12/1	12/5
Useful on the Flat, unable to transfer that ability to hurdles this winter on his first two attempts but he's had wind surgery since and could have lots more to offer in this code, possible player.
Sir GalahadLewis Stones (3) - O Murphy—	14/1	11/4
Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson at up to 1m4f, changed hands for 25,000gns last July and this is his first run since, has joined a good yard for his hurdle career and could have a bright future in this code, one of two for the stable and a market check is advised.
Regal CavalierLee Edwards - M Young—	25/1	17/4
Won on the Flat at Corlay (1m7f, soft) in France last June on his second run, had 5l to spare and changed hands for 21,000euros last July, absent since but he's an interesting contender on his hurdle and stable debut.
Kids Say LastgojoeSean Quinlan - Micky Hammond415	28/1	5/1
Easily made all in Catterick bumper (1m7f, good) in November on second start, the strength of that form is questionable and he was well beaten on hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in January, but he's had wind surgery since and is not written off.
Cap RicochetDanny McMenamin - Paul Collins475U	50/1	11/1
Has shown some ability but improvement is needed and he was wayward before unseating early at Sedgefield last week on his second hurdle start.
BrindleyHenry Brooke - P Neville9	66/1	16/1
Fair maiden on the Flat at up to 1m, however, he failed to settle and was tailed off at 50-1 on recent hurdle and stable debut at Huntingdon.
Kit The ChristianC J Todd - N Kent6	100/1	28/1
There's potential in his pedigree but he was tailed off at 100-1 on last month's debut at Doncaster and is probably best watched for now.
MythicalTom Midgley (3) - S Whitaker7PP	200/1	55/1
Regressive on the Flat and tailed off/pulled up at triple-figure odds this winter on his first three hurdle starts.

Tamar BridgeBeau Morgan (5) - O MurphyPPP/25	4/6	—
Very useful at best but pulled up in all three starts in 2022 then went missing for nearly two years, showed there was plenty left in him when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but he didn't convince at Lingfield in December, ought to be a huge factor here.
Honneur D'AjoncMr Alex Chadwick (5) - James Owen192P32	2/1	—
Useful hurdler with smart chase form in 2022-23 but unpredictable now and form has wavered since Fontwell win (2m1f, good to soft) for this yard in September, fared better when a close second in a Catterick claimer (1m7f, good, first-time visor) this month, form chance on a going day.
WolfspearJoshua Bryan - O MurphyU-5PU4	13/2	—
Three wins from eight handicap completions, at 2m4f and 2m2f (ground ranging from good to heavy), below best since back from a break but there was more promise in his latest run at Stratford and he may have a better chance than the weights suggest.
BenitoSean Quinlan - Lizzie Quinlan89-95P	20/1	—
Two hurdle wins off modest marks in 2022 but he's shown very ordinary form since back from an absence and has much to find at the weights.

	Win	Place
Harel Du MaraisS Bowen - C & A Pogson-46311	13/8	5/6
Won on stable debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) on March 3 and followed up there 11 days ago (2m, good to soft), had nearly 5l to spare last time and a 7lb penalty may not stop this thriving 8yo.
Hold Onto The LineRyan Mania - J Ewart5F2331	7/2	11/8
Versatile in terms of trip and posted a close third at Musselburgh last month (2m7f, good to soft, strong form for the grade) before winning a three-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m, good) a fortnight ago, it was a decent race last time, despite the numbers, and he's just 2lb higher here.
BaselineM G Nolan - P Hobbs & J WhiteP4/246	9/2	8/5
Sixth of seven, beaten about 7l, on recent handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m, good) and he could do with settling better, however, in-form stable wastes little time in sending this lightly raced 7yo over fences and he could improve for the chance of disciplines, possible player.
RumoursareflyingPaul O'Brien - Mrs P Sly524F33	5/1	17/10
Still a maiden (0-15) but often ran well over hurdles (including here) and he's lightly raced over fences, finishing a fair third the last twice behind rejuvenated winners (2m/2m1f, good to soft), could be involved.
Special DragonHenry Brooke - O Greenall & J Guerriero21-28F	15/2	11/5
Well beaten on chase debut at Southwell in October and had a bit of work to do when falling three out at Newcastle later that month, however, she's had wind surgery since and this lightly raced 6yo could be in the mix if rediscovering the form shown over hurdles last spring, not discounted.
FindthetimeSam Coltherd - W Coltherd24PPP6	12/1	4/1
C&D winner whose mark continues to tumble but he's been pulled up/tailed off on his last three starts and a major turnaround is required.

Wetherby [28th Mar 15:32]

	Win	Place
Jacovec CavernD E Mullins - P Hennessy/8850F	15/8	10/13
Returned to form back on better ground at Cork (2m4f, good) last Thursday, when he was 6l ahead in a big field only to fall at the final flight, should be fine if good to soft ground prevails today, strong claims.
CrazierthandaisyN de Boinville - N J Henderson31-221	9/2	7/5
Good-ground bumper winner who has been favourite for all three hurdle starts, finishing second twice in a row (2m/2m4f, soft/good to soft) before winning in a big field at Warwick (2m5f, soft), in excellent hands to continue her progress and she's very much respected on handicap debut.
Kap VertM G Nolan - P Hobbs & J White-25133	6/1	17/10
Won at Exeter (2m, soft) in December on second hurdle start and has run creditably in third on both outings since (2m, soft), begins handicap life on a fair mark and this 3m point runner-up (good to yielding) is open to further improvement now up in trip, firmly in calculations.
Blue HopJ M Quinlan - B Brookhouse5-6312	9/1	12/5
Won in a big field when upped to 3m at Doncaster (good to soft) in January and he's since been a good second of 17 at Ascot (2m7f, good), there can be optimism that he'll be fine at this trip and he's a solid contender.
JericoacoaraB S Hughes - Micky Hammond54-743	11/1	14/5
Listed placed in France over an extended 2m3f, fair efforts at Newcastle this year on first two British starts (2m1f, good to soft) and today's step up in trip could be a positive, not ruled out.
Magic WaveJamie Hamilton - M Walford12P-06	11/1	14/5
Very lightly raced 9yo who returned to some form with sixth of 17 here (2m3f, soft) last month, needs another step back in the right direction today but the forecast better ground may well be a plus (his bumper and maiden hurdle wins came on good to soft going).
KiltaS Bowen - S England532343	11/1	14/5
Won over hurdles at Southwell last March and fences at Cartmel last May, has dropped to a dangerous mark but he's been inconsistent over fences since that last win, reverts to hurdles and others are more compelling.
Park AnnonciadeJ J Slevin - S R B CrawfordF7F334	12/1	3/1
Reverted to hurdles with a close third at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January, when well backed and inconvenienced by a mistake three out, heavy ground perhaps wasn't ideal there next time, capable of a bold show.
SoldierofthestormR P McLernon - J & A O'Neill13-388	12/1	3/1
Looked progressive in the first half of last year, it's too soon to write him off and he was well backed last time, but he's finished merely eighth on both outings this winter and a return to form is needed.
Book Of TalesLily Pinchin - C E Longsdon1-24	14/1	7/2
Three wins in the summer of 2023, two of them on the Flat and one on hurdle debut, following a long absence he's run pretty well in defeat this winter in his first two handicap hurdles (2m/1m7f, good to soft) and having won over 1m6f on the Flat he could be suited by today's step up in trip.
Foster'sislandEmma Smith-Chaston (3) - Micky Hammond204578	16/1	15/4
Has often run well here and he's well treated on course form as recent as November, however, his subsequent form has been patchy and this 10yo needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.
KalhandrionCharlie Maggs (5) - R Hobson-54P65	33/1	9/1
5yo who could be suited by the likely return to better ground on this second handicap start, but he was soundly beaten when fifth of seven at 18-1 at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last month and others appeal more.
Butler's BriefC Gethings - A RalphP6731P	66/1	22/1
Enhanced his very healthy strike-rate with win at Bangor in October, however, pulled up at Warwick in November and off since, this 10yo's last seven wins have all come over 2m7f+, others make greater appeal.

Wetherby [28th Mar 16:07]

	Win	Place
Heroique De MauldeHenry Brooke - O Greenall & J Guerriero2/0P62	9/4	7/10
Returned from a long absence for a new yard this season and, having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a close second of five at Newcastle (2m7f, good) this month, that was the middle leg of a hat-trick for the winner and this fellow could be thereabouts once more.
Fete ChampetreCraig Nichol - Paul Robson514-4F	4/1	21/20
10yo who is lightly raced for his age, returned from absence with fair fourth at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in December and he was in front when falling two out at Ayr (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago, there's stamina in his pedigree and he's a contender if seeing out this new trip.
RealisationS Bowen - C E Longsdon8-3285	5/1	6/5
Hasn't been at her best the last twice and made mistakes last time, while she's also untested at this trip, however, this lightly raced 3m point runner-up stayed on well when placed in the autumn on her first two chase starts (2m4f, good) and is not written off.
Roger RarebitStan Sheppard - T LaceyP3P-24	6/1	11/8
Only fourth at Haydock in January last time but goes well fresh and he was a 7l second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in December behind one who has won twice since, trainer won this last year, player if back on song.
MixedwavePaul O'Brien - Mrs P Sly-6755P	6/1	11/8
Two wins at Huntingdon early last year and he's well treated on that form, fair fifth at Doncaster on penultimate start and heavy ground may have been too much at Leicester last time, but it's been an underwhelming campaign overall and others arrive with more pressing claims.
Giovanni ChangeJamie Hamilton - M WalfordP85373	15/2	13/8
On a reduced mark and has been a fair third at Market Rasen on two of his last three starts (3m3f, good to soft), has run well here in the past but Market Rasen brings out the best in him and this 10yo's losing sequence goes back 15 races to May 2023.
Carrigeen CastleB S Hughes - Micky HammondP5-036	14/1	13/5
Not at his best this season and unproven at today's trip under rules, however, he's had wind surgery since last time and won here last February and March on his two previous visits to Wetherby, not discounted.
Court At SlipMr William Easterby (3) - T D Easterby/413-P	14/1	13/5
C&D winner who has the same mark as for his win at Newcastle in December 2023, pulled up at Carlisle 19 days ago on return from long absence and, while he may have needed that run, a rapid transformation is required.
Mister BellsEmma Smith-Chaston (3) - Micky Hammond3-P35P	66/1	16/1
Now 8lb lower than when winning at Catterick last January but this 11yo has struggled this season, dramatic revival is required.

Wetherby [28th Mar 16:45]

	Win	Place
HenrysbrotherjackS Bowen - O Murphy0-0151	13/8	5/9
Won when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in December on third handicap start and bounced back from Market Rasen fifth (2m4f, good to soft) to win at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) last time, this unexposed 6yo has strong claims if today's forecast better ground isn't an issue.
Glory HightsDanny McMenamin - C Grant512452	3/1	20/23
Won at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) in November when back from a break and has continued in good heart, going very close in a big field at Ayr (3m, soft) three weeks ago, every chance he'll be bang there once more.
AazzaCraig Nichol - Paul Robson-79382	9/2	11/10
Inconsistent and winless over the last two seasons but she was a creditable second over C&D (good) ten days ago off this career-low mark, in the mix if backing up that performance with another good run.
SnowroccoB S Hughes - A Nicol43-847	7/1	6/4
Finished third in a 3m point (soft) and she was a fair fourth of 18 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January on her second handicap start, well beaten over this C&D (soft) since but was kicked at the start, wears a first-time tongue-tie and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off.
MyfavouritesisterLee Edwards - P Neville5-05P5	11/1	23/10
Hasn't achieved much in three bumpers or three maiden/novice hurdles, but she made late headway when fifth of seven at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in November and this close relation to the stable's Charlie Hall winner The Real Whacker is open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut.
Ballin BayNathan Moscrop - R Menzies14-P64	14/1	14/5
Won over hurdles for Pauline Robson at Kelso in November 2023 and didn't run badly over fences at Sedgefield when last seen in December 2024, following six months off, not ruled out back hurdling on first run for Rebecca Menzies.
BalkoticEmma Smith-Chaston (3) - Micky Hammond359533	18/1	10/3
His reduced mark appeals on form as recent as last June but he's struggled on his five runs since, a major turnaround is needed.
Marmalade TimeCharlie Deutsch - Mrs M Rowley94-7P6	22/1	15/4
Won a novice hurdle at Doncaster last March but has struggled to get competitive in handicaps since (five attempts), needs to raise her game.
Angus De BullConor Ring - R Potter009/65	25/1	17/4
He's one to watch in the betting now up in trip but this maiden is hard to fancy from 12lb out of the handicap.
On We GoSean Quinlan - G BoanasP3-909	28/1	5/1
Five-time winner who was a fair third at Sedgefield last February, however, she's struggled this season and remains winless since February 2023, hopes are pinned on wind op prompting a dramatic revival.

Wetherby [28th Mar 17:20]

	Win	Place
Queen Of SteelJack Hogan (3) - F O'Brien376761	11/10	5/13
Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last Friday on her second stable start, she's unraced beyond that trip but drew clear to do it very easily last week and escapes a penalty, so will be very tough to beat if seeing out the distance.
Hawkseye ViewPeter Kavanagh (3) - J Parkinson & S Smith625U33	11/2	6/5
Point winner who is 0-14 under rules, however, he's been a fair third over fences at Newcastle (2m4f/2m7f, good/good to soft) the last twice despite his jumping not being great, and he could be firmly involved if finding greater fluency now back over hurdles.
VengaboyWilliam Shanahan (5) - J Candlish9/7-00	13/2	13/10
Lightly raced 6yo for whom it's early days with this yard and he's one to watch in the betting, however, he's finished down the field on both runs this year, after missing all of 2024, and he has plenty to prove.
UpfordebateHenry Brooke - P NevilleP65716	13/2	13/10
Stayed on well to win in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month, only sixth at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) a fortnight later but this lightly raced 6yo retains potential, especially now up in trip (half-brother to useful stayer Duke Of Deception).
Rumble BLewis Dobb (7) - Justin Landy376332	13/2	13/10
11yo who won three times in the first half of last year (including on good ground) and returned to form when second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, could again be thereabouts.
LathanNathan Moscrop - R Menzies631FP5	9/1	9/5
Returned from a break with a fair fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good) this month on his second handicap start, this lightly raced half-brother to Scottish National winner Macdermott is open to improvement now up in trip and he's a possible player in first-time cheekpieces.
Prince NinoTristan Durrell (3) - Lizzie Quinlan3P2265	12/1	9/4
Went close to snapping a losing sequence at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January, not a forlorn hope but he's unproven at this longer trip and hasn't been at his best the last twice.
Chatshow HostTheo Gillard - D McCain Jnr62-76P	33/1	6/1
Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut last May and struggled last month on first two chase starts, however, she showed promise in novice hurdles last year and perhaps a wind op will prompt a revival now she's back hurdling.
Foreva AlfieRyan Mania - Paul Robson5/P60P	50/1	11/1
Lightly raced 7yo who wears first-time headgear and his pedigree hints this step up in trip may suit, however, pulled up at 33-1 on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in January, hard to be confident.

Wetherby [28th Mar 17:50]

	Win	Place
Mondoui'boyMr D Maxwell - Harry Derham2-2	7/4	5/12
Smart Irish point form when chasing home one who's now on a mark of 130, with promising subsequent winners behind, his Sandown bumper debut (heavy) for this yard in February was a useful effort too and he's a strong contender for yard with a good strike-rate in bumpers (9-35).
StarmountBen Jones - B PaulingF1	9/4	10/19
Half-brother to Stage Star (bumper/high-class 2m3f-2m5f hurdle/chase) and La Malmason (useful 2m4f hurdle/chase), dam Grade 2-winning hurdler at 2m7f, fell late on Irish point debut but made no mistake next time, sold for £82,000 soon after, yard has solid strike-rate in bumpers, in the mix.
Wandering EgoS Bowen - O MurphyF-32	11/4	8/13
Two promising efforts in bumpers, having a stiff task behind a high-class winner at Newbury (good) and bumping into an above-average Skelton newcomer at Huntingdon (good to soft), one of the more likely ones.
GirlfromtheglenN de Boinville - N J Henderson2	7/1	29/20
Unraced dam's siblings include useful Morning Royalty (bumper and hurdle/chase) and bumper and hurdle/chase winner Morning Supreme, runner-up in sole Irish point, sold on for £35,000, trainer normally does well in bumpers (2-7 here) but 0-26 in them this season, market can guide.
Ned HillJ J Burke - F O'Brien4	10/1	2/1
170,000euros 3yo, had wind surgery and was tongue tied for debut here in February when he didn't get the best of runs but kept on steadily into fourth, the bare form needs improving on but he's a scopey type who should step forward for yard in fine form.
Jimmy HurdstromStan Sheppard - T Lacey16	12/1	12/5
Won his only point but he dropped out in a Chepstow bumper when making his yard debut, still has potential but too much to prove today.
ParliamoCharlie Deutsch - Mrs M Rowley4	33/1	17/2
11-2, showed up well for a long way in a Chepstow bumper (soft) in February, should know more this time but plenty on his plate today.
Fanny MoonToby Wynne (3) - Mrs M Rowley—	40/1	11/1
16,000euros yearling, dam French maiden, half-sister to useful French jumper Benefique, yard's other runner Parliamo looks more likely.
Dollar's DreamHenry Brooke - D Brooke—	40/1	11/1
14,000euros yearling, has a useful Flat pedigree but yard has few bumper runners (one winner) and he's likely best watched.
Dartmouth StarJamie Hamilton - M Walford—	50/1	14/1
Out of a winning pointer who won at 2m-2m7f over hurdles/fences, gets all the allowances but this is a tough start to her career.
TelepiecesAlice Stevens (3) - Mrs P Sly5	66/1	20/1
Yard gets its share of bumper winners but this 4yo was fairly easy to back and dropped out on Market Rasen debut last month.
Just JaneB S Hughes - J Bedi8	100/1	35/1
66-1 for her bumper debut here in November, when dropping right out after making the running.
Habton CupSean Quinlan - T D Easterby4	100/1	35/1
£6,500 yearling, dam bred several winners, including Spider's Bite (bumper/useful 3m hurdle), it's hard to weigh up the value of his fourth in a recent point bumper and this looks a daunting task, now tongue tied.
Just EdithRoss Chapman - J R Norton—	150/1	50/1
Out of a 3m/3m1f hurdle winner, trainer doesn't target these races and other runners are more likely.
