This can go to DARTMOUTH CASTLE (1) after back-to-back seconds. He won a bumper here by 8L last May and his latest 1L second at Newcastle 27 days ago was his best run yet over hurdles. He sets a good standard on form and could prove very hard to beat. WHENTHEMUSICSTOPS (2) is the next best. He showed promise when beaten 2. 75L at Plumpton in September and is a contender off a 171-day break. WENDYWILLDO (5) is worth a market check off over a year off. He has switched yards to Patrick Neville and had some useful form in 2024 including a neck second in a Wetherby novice hurdle and bumper win at Sedgefield.
