Useful bumper type can open account over hurdles

Ridgeway Flyer (2.00 Ludlow, nap)

Useful bumper performer who has yet to open his account over hurdles, but has plenty in his favour with course and ground ideal.

Lambourn James Burn

Some Kinda Lama (3.15 Doncaster, nap)

North Colin Russell

Steelriver (7.15 Kempton, nap)

Newmarket David Milnes

Alabaster (6.15 Kempton, nap)

Stayed on well when fourth to Faience at Chelmsford last week and Sir Mark Prescott's grey is expected to appreciate this longer trip.

Racing Post Ratings Steve Mason

Very First Time (3.15 Doncaster, nap)

Below form on his last couple of starts, but has decent claims on his previous runs, which include a staying-on fourth over shorter here. He still looks open to improvement in a competitive race.

Topspeed Dave Edwards

William Money (3.35 Ludlow)

Turned a Newcastle handicap chase into a procession a week ago and, despite a penalty, Tim Vaughan's rejuvenated ten-year-old can continue to make hay.

Longshot Ed Quigley

Killala Quay (3.45 Doncaster)

Enjoys a flat track and decent ground and can't be dismissed off a mark of 130.

Ireland Tony O'Hehir

Freeway Space (4.00 Punchestown)

Placed on all three starts in bumpers and on three of her six attempts over hurdles, the David O'Brien-trained seven-year-old, who won a point-to-point, can prove the pick in this 2m6f mares' maiden hurdle.
