6/5
Perfect record for trainer so far, winning a bumper at Newton Abbot (2m1f) and maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m) both on good to soft ground. Had plenty in hand when taking the latter and looks the most likely winner of this.

Point-to-point winner, sent off 66/1 and ran accordingly at Exeter last month on rules bow in 2m1f soft-ground novices' hurdle. Much work to be done.

25/1
A 15-race maiden on the Flat, has been beaten wide margins in both outings so far over jumps and has plenty improvement to find.

11/4
Fair effort at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month on British bow, finishing 5L down fifth of 14 in a novice hurdle. Could build on that now and entitled to be in the mix.
Cost €45,000 as a three-year-old and is a half-brother to three winners. Modest effort on debut in Kempton bumper in February over 2m on good ground but has since joined champion trainer ahead of hurdles bow.

6/1
Bumper winner here in February over this trip, attempted to make all on hurdles bow at Plumpton last month (2m, good to soft) but weakened to finish sixth. Should be better for that run and could have more to offer this time.
Only fair in bumpers with his best effort coming here over a trip shy of 2m. Beaten wide margins in hurdles races at Warwick and Wincanton last month and hard to be confident now going over longer journey.

Forecasts

Highway One O One (6/5), Dakkar Collonges (11/4), Diese Des Bieffes (9/2), Larry (6/1), Ataman (25/1), Sensible Friend (33/1), Alka Step (33/1)

Verdict

HIGHWAY ONE O ONE must concede a penalty for his success at Plumpton in a maiden hurdle recently but he did with such ease that he's given the nod to follow up. He also won his bumper at Newton Abbot in good style and can take care of these rivals to continue his smooth progress. Having joined the ranks at Seven Barrows, Diese des Bieffes is an obvious one to monitor ahead of this first jumping test while Dakkar Collonges showed potential on his British bow at Uttoxeter and joins Larry in potentially having more to offer now.
