5/4
Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland who has made a good transition to hurdles for his new yard with wins at Stratford and Market Rasen. Has to cope with a double penalty, but his claimer takes off 7lb and he has to be a major player.

6/4
Ran his best race in four starts over hurdles when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month. Likely to go on improving and must be considered for his leading connections.
Has run well in bumpers at Ludlow and Exeter since joining his current yard and now goes hurdling. Likely to make his presence felt if taking to this new discipline.

Forecasts

I'll Be Your Clown (5/4), Bomber Command (6/4), Symphony Of Angels (3/1), Mcelligott (14/1), Parwich Lees (14/1), Breaking Ground (33/1), Telmadela (66/1)

Verdict

I'll Be Your Clown sets the standard and is likely to be hard to beat. However, he has a double penalty to cope with and although his rider takes off 7lb, there is a reason for that and slight preference is for BOMBER COMMAND, who is improving steadily and can get off the mark here. Symphony Of Angels boasts fair bumper form and is likely to go well.
