| Dual bumper winner last term, including here, and looked good when winning first 2 starts in this sphere during the winter before chasing home subsequent Supreme Novices hero Old Park Star in a Haydock Grade 2. By no means disgraced at the Cheltenham Festival last time and he's the one to beat. | ||||||||

| Off the mark at third attempt in points and bright start under Rules when overcoming both inexperience and traffic problems to land a useful-looking Warwick novice last month. Booking of Harry Cobden suggests that connections mean business and this 5-y-o is clearly a nice prospect. | ||||||||

| Seemingly perked up by addition of blinkers when fourth in a 14-runner Exeter maiden hurdle recently, which represented a significant step forward from his very low-key debut in this sphere in January. However, another sizeable jolt of improvement will be needed if he's to take this. | ||||||||

| Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Georges Saint and was in the process of shaping well when falling 2 out in juvenile hurdle at Newbury on debut in February. Again failed to complete at Bangor on Tuesday (unseated after being hampered by a faller) but there's certainly potential there. | ||||||||

There was no shortage of promise in COSMIC CONNECTION's hurdles debut success in what looked a useful Warwick novice and, with improvement on the cards and Harry Cobden booked, he could prove to be more than a match for the standard-bearer Hurricane Pat. It's hard to get excited about the others, though Mistral St Georges was still in contention when departing 2 out at Newbury in February and he can't be blamed for failing to complete again at Bangor on Tuesday. |
