Jirko
JIRKO showed promise when third on his Kelso chase debut and might prove the answer to this opener. Wainwright and Worth The Walk both bring potential to their chase debuts after breaks, while Wholly Boley disappointed at Kelso last time but was a good second at Hexham prior to that and Sean Bowen takes the reins.

No impact over hurdles last season but his chase debut third on last month's Kelso reappearance suggests he can races over fences. High on the shortlist with improvement likely.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 7f 96yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/8Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle10/16Ayr2mSoftHurdle8/10Kelso2m 51ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/12Ayr2mGood to SoftHurdle8/12- 2Swallows SongJ: Danny McMenaminT: Iain Jardine3/474-7Age 74/17/24/1

Debut bumper winner in 2022 but yet to add to that success, despite attracting support on a few occasions. Strong in the market back from 16 months off at Kelso in October but weakened to finish seventh of in a handicap hurdle. Now returns to fences (twice third over them at the end of 2023).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 6f 151yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/8Perth2m 7f 207yGoodHurdle4/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/10Kelso2m 6f 151yGoodHurdle4/15Kelso2m 7f 96ySoftChase3/5- 10DidntgotwentyJ: Sean QuinlanT: Martin Todhunter7747-35Age 66/113/26/1

Lightly raced maiden who posted his best effort when third in 2½m Hexham handicap hurdle on reappearance but a return to 3m seemed to stretch his stamina in another hurdle here since.

Point winner who made a positive start to his chase career when second at Hexham (3m, heavy) in October. Ran poorly with cheekpieces added at Kelso 3 weeks later and they are quickly discarded.

Third in a handicap hurdle last winter. Brings an unexposed profile to this chase debut for a good stable.

Runner-up all 4 completed starts in Irish points but failed to better poor form in 4 outings under Rules last season, including a handicap chase. Still early days but would need to see market support to consider on this return from wind surgery (also tongue tied first time).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase7/13Hexham2m 4f 28ySoftHurdle8/10Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoftHurdle5/10Carlisle2m 3f 218yGood to SoftHurdle10/14- 7Joie MoreJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Jackie Stephen85P9-P4Age 712/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Better effort switched to fences this term when fourth of 8 in 23.5f Kelso handicap 23 days ago but the reopposing Jirko was 7 lengths ahead in third.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 7f 96yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/8Kelso2m 7f 96yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/8Ayr2m 4f 100ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/10Wetherby2m 3f 154yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdlepu/9Kelso2m 6f 151ySoftHurdle5/10- 6Lewa HouseJ: Ross ChapmanT: Catch Bissett66282-5Age 912/111/112/1

Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but little form over hurdles so hard to fancy now going chasing (unplaced both completed starts in Irish points).
