Promising sort who has landed a couple of Cartmel novices by wide margins, overcoming mistakes on second occasion (22.1f). Has to concede weight all round but remains one to keep onside.

Newbury bumper winner who stepped up on his hurdling bow when bagging 2m Huntingdon novice in February. Good second under a penalty at Kempton and step back up to this trip well worth exploring.

Built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 21f Ludlow maiden in February. Let down by some sloppy jumping at Newcastle on final start of last term, but good chance if more fluent on this occasion.

Left his sole bumper run well behind when winning 2m maiden at Limerick in July. That was only an ordinary race though, so more will be required under a penalty on first run for a new yard here.

Fair 2m bumper winner but was well held switched to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter last month's reappearance. This will reveal more.

Irish point winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles in reaching the frame all 4 outings over hurdles last season, second at Doncaster (19.7f) final start. Leading contender.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points but looked one for later on when a well-held third on Southwell hurdling debut in March.

Forecasts

Polish (2/1), Finisk River (5/2), Firak (3/1), Fugitives Drift (10/3), Some Spin (28/1), Dragonfruit (33/1), Fame And Hope (40/1), Arctic Valley (80/1), Alderson (300/1), O'Grady's Boy (300/1)

Verdict

FUGITIVES DRIFT looks well worth a go back up in trip given how he shaped behind a progressive one at Kempton in March, and he earns the narrow vote over Firak, who showed plenty of ability in reaching the frame all 4 outings over hurdles last season. The promising Finisk River is also well respected, despite having to concede weight all round.
