Pulled-up on his last four start and probably needs a little more than first-time cheekpieces to see him improve here.
Looks head and shoulders above these in terms of form having won a Southwell bumper in 2014. Had a long break after that but showed that all his ability remains with a good second over hurdles recently.
More letters than numbers in the form figures but appeared to take a huge step forward on his last start on his first run for this yard. Travelled well through what was a weak race but of interest if he runs to the same level here.
Irish raider from a yard that have done well with their runners here over the years and have booked a top pilot here. This is his hurdling debut but he has won in point-to-points and may well be able to reach the places here.
Suffered a breathing problem when well held in a Carlisle bumper finishing last of the eight.
Very modest maiden on the Flat (well beaten in sellers and claimers) and pulled-up on both his starts over hurdles.
Maiden on the Flat but capable of some fair form and has shown some ability over hurdles. Probably one for handicaps further down the line if he has the stamina for this sphere.
Failed to show much in three bumpers in 2015-16 looking a hard ride and would have to show more to take a hand here.
Only showed limited ability so far in bumpers and maiden hurdles so far and faces a stiff task here on her fourth hurdles start and would have more chance in handicaps.
May well be the better of the two runners from this yard with the ride taken by the Champion jockey. Pulled up on her only point-to-point start and 33/1 for her hurdling debut she showed some ability behind another hot favourite over C&D in April.
Forecasts
Just Before Dawn (1/5), Whispering Affair (6/1), Killone (7/1), Picture Painter (12/1), Lorenzo (16/1), Just Brooke (50/1), Beyond The Glen (50/1), Registan (50/1), Il Sassicaia (80/1), Crookofdevon (200/1)
This really does look a weak contest and an ideal opportunity for JUST BEFORE DAWNto break his maiden with his bumper and hurdles form being far in advance of anything that the rest of the field have produced. The Crawford duo of Whispering Affair and Lorenzo are of interest for forecast purposes with Killone looking capable of building on his last run.
