This looks a good opportunity for GIVE IT TO ME OJ to strike at the third time of asking over hurdles. Ocean Conquest is the one likely to follow him home.

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and has run to a similar level when placed in both juvenile hurdles, latterly second in the Victor Ludorum at Haydock. Sets a clear standard and has the potential for even better.

Flat winner in Ireland in 2023. Best effort in juvenile hurdles for new yard since returning from an absence when second of 7 at Warwick (21m, soft) last time. The obvious threat to the Give It To Me Oj.

Well held in maiden in France sole start on Flat. Left David Menuisier for 8,000 gns later in October and Give It To Me Oj looks very much the yard first string here unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Made steady progress in his first 3 hurdles but blotted his copybook by refusing to race at Warwick last time. Has to be treated with a degree of caution after that.

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 10.5f) for Jack Channon but pulled up on Wetherby hurdle debut over Christmas (for Gary Brown). Has had wind surgery ahead of this first outing for another new trainer.

Fair maiden on the Flat. Lost his way for Ollie Sangster towards the end of 2024 but the fact his new stable won this race last year provides hope now hurdling.

Knew what was required when making a winning start in a Ludlow bumper in November. Well beaten in a listed event at Cheltenham 8 weeks later and ran to a barely modest level switched to hurdles at Plumpton (2m, soft) since.
