R & A Mason Electrical & Heating Novices' Hurdle

Signs of ability in five bumper starts so far and this further step up in trip should suit. Not beaten far last time but more progress needed.

High Rise gelding, cost €7,000 in 2015. Half-brother to useful hurdle winner Pause and Ponder and dam was also related to jumps winners. Needs to be well above average to take this on debut

Fastnet Spin gelding who is a half-brother to a 5f sprinter on the Flat. Didn't make it to the race course until the age of eight-years-old and showed nothing at Ffos Las debut in April. Hard to fancy.

Runner-up in both a point-to-point and a bumper in 2015 and clearly had his issues having only been seen once since. May have needed the run at Doncaster in January but still hard to fancy and best watched once again.

Irish bumper winner last year, never able to land a blow in Listed event at Cheltenham on New Year's Day over 2m4f. Should do better with time but last of four at Kempton last time and needs to do better.

Better known for his Cross Country exploits but unexposed in this sphere and this looks a lot easier than the races he has been running in. Hard to oppose.
