15/8
Fairly useful stayer on the Flat for Tom Dascombe in 2019 and made a successful hurdling debut here (18.5f) last month, edging ahead run in under hands-and-heels riding. Open to improvement.

Useful Flat performer (stays 14.5f) who overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut in at Southwell (15.8f) last month, despite wandering approaching hurdles. Open to improvement.

Showed ability on his only start in bumpers but was lit up switched to hurdling after 7 months off when well held at Uttoxeter. Can improve providing he settles better.

Stratford bumper winner in August but that as a weak affair and looks one for handicaps on early evidence in this sphere.

7/2
£55,000 buy after striking at the third time of asking in Irish points. Promise in bumpers 5 months apart and when third on recent hurdling debut at this venue (18.5f). Better to come.

Forecasts

Hasanabad (11/10), Celestial Force (15/8), The Bees Knees (7/2), Le Crunch (40/1), Janus (50/1), Presenting Yeats (50/1), Lawyersgunsn'money (150/1)

Verdict

THE BEES KNEES shaped with plenty of promise under a positive ride when third on his hurdling debut here 20 days ago and could easily have a bigger performance in the locker now dropping back in trip slightly, so he receives the vote. Celestial Force and Hasanabad are the obvious threats having won on their respective hurdling debuts.

  1. THE BEES KNEES (IRE)
  2. CELESTIAL FORCE (IRE)
  3. HASANABAD (IRE)
