Placed twice since breakthrough win in October; probably in the mix again

Won twice (once over C&D) towards end of 2024 and might still be improving; respected
16	Diesel Line Brown J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	J:Lorcan Williams T:Jeremy Scott	152	—	309-77	84	88	44	39d	—	—	+1	11.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Won on bumper debut in 2023 but has not shown a great deal over hurdles
1	State Of Fame Bay J:Cameron Iles(7) T:Tom Lacey	J:Cameron Iles(7) T:Tom Lacey	168	tv	21-176	100	107	92	67d	—	—	+5	15.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
First two stable runs were very respectable and Cameron Iles claims a useful 7lb here

Needs improvement on handicap debut but the longer trip ought to suit and Sean Bowen rides
9	A Little Something Bay J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Emma Lavelle	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Emma Lavelle	160	—	P37523	92	100	87	38d	—	—	+11	20.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%

Unexposed after only five hurdle starts but first two handicap runs were disappointing
12	Broomfield Gale Bay J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	J:Harry Reed T:Daisy Hitchins	156	h	658377	88	102	94	18d	—	—	+6	12.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not disgraced on first three stable start but needs to up her game here

In fairly good form when last seen last spring but may need this outing
5	Hermes Le Gris Grey J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Liam Harrison T:Robbie Llewellyn	163	t	F1261-	95	100	88	277d	—	—	+23	27.8	5.00/1	20/1 5%
2-5 for current stable but has fitness to prove after nine-month layoff

Has lost her way since her easy C&D win last March; younger rivals appeal more

Absent since three low-key qualifying runs in 2023 but still worth a glance in the betting
11	Johannes Grey J:David Noonan T:David Pipe	J:David Noonan T:David Pipe	157	p	61P-PP	89	95	-	43d	—	—	+8	10.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
