9/2
Won two novices' hurdles last season when he showed that he appreciates a sound surface. Stays 2m4f but had the pace to be placed over 2m2½f over hurdles last month and should be fine dropping back. Will be well schooled and likely to improve on his hurdles form over fences.

11/8
Grade Two runner-up as a juvenile hurdler and twice a Listed winner in that sphere, with a highest rating of 155. Form over hurdles has tailed off of late and now tackles fences. Will be well versed ahead of this and if going clear he is the one to beat.

11/10
129-rated handicap hurdler who won twice in that sphere in January. Not ground dependent and ran well enough when second of three in a Taunton handicap hurdle (2m3f, good) last time. Interesting chase debutant and likely to do better when stepped back up in trip.

Forecasts

Space Oddity (11/10), Hargam (11/8), Cracking Find (9/2), Paddocks Lounge (33/1)

Verdict

A field of chasing debutantes, so there are risks involved here, but HARGAM was much the best over hurdles and if he can run to anything like his ability he should have too much for the other trio, though his form has not been good for some time. Cracking Find and Space Oddity should be battling for the forecast spot and the latter might be the one for today.
