124 Expert View: Outpaced, disappointing debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper winner should have more to offer over staying trips over hurdles judged on point exploits.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a NH flat race at 2m on good ground. Finished 19l behind Dolly Dior when sixth of 10 at 2-9fav on her hurdling debut at Hexham over 2m 4f (good) last month.

Form Snapshot: Placed in a NH flat race from four starts. Third of 7 behind Colegram beaten 22l at 4-1 on her hurdling debut at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m 4f (good) last month.
98 Expert View: Outpaced, hampered, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow most recent; returning from a break; point likely to want further.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a point-to-point at 3m. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Fern Gully when 9th of 10 on her latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Chepstow over 2m 3f (soft) in March.
110 Expert View: Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest when beaten early; tongue-tie first time; point winner, longer trip should suit but needs to leave previous rules form behind.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two point-to-points at 3m on firm and soft ground. Pulled up 3 out when 300-1 here over 2m (good) in a maiden hurdle race won by Drombeg Lad earlier this month on her latest outing. She is wearing a hood and a tongue-tie for the first time.
76 Expert View: Ran to form when third in a maiden point at Stradbally most recent run; cheekpieces first time; off a long absence; modest point form, all to prove on hurdle debut.
Form Snapshot: Placed in a point-to-point from 11 starts. Third of 7 behind dead-heaters Dothejive and Beacon Storm beaten 15l at 4-1fav on her latest outing in a point-to-point race at Stradbally over 3m (good) in April last year. Having her first run for a new stable today.
LOMAN LADY failed to land the odds at Hexham on last month's hurdling bow. However, that run came only eight days after her bumper success at the same track and Dan Skelton's mare looks to have a good opportunity to prove her latest running all wrong. Trigger The Light finished a creditable third at Southwell on his hurdling debut considering that was his first outing of the year. He could land a blow, while Mirabello also warrants respect.
LOMAN LADY was too bad to be true when well fancied on her hurdling debut but is given another chance here. The cosy bumper winner is likely to make significant improvement now upped to staying trips judged on her point exploits. Mirabello and Mr Rafiki have both shaped with promise on their hurdle starts to date while shaping as if this extra distance would suit. They can fill the places in a decent maiden.
