Fairly useful bumper winner last summer who has shown a similar level of form on the Flat, runner-up first 3 starts but last final 2. Makes hurdle/stable debut in a tongue tie (also had wind op).

Shaped promisingly sent hurdling when third at Newbury in December. Underperformed next time but got back on track when runner-up at Southwell 35 days ago and sets the standard. Tongue strap on.

13/2
Fair bumper winner who shaped as if retaining all his ability after 13 months off when third at Stratford in March, despite being left poorly placed. Bred to have a future over hurdles.

Well beaten in pair of bumpers/novice hurdles.

Forecasts

Finistere (1/1), Kentucky Hardboot (5/2), Beholden (11/2), Litigate (13/2), Ajax Tavern (22/1), Yes Governor (33/1), Cobbs Corner (33/1), Aide Memoire (100/1), Orbit Of Iolite (300/1)

Verdict

FINISTERE is clearly no stable star but he's shown enough to suggest he can win a small race like this. Kentucky Hardboot is respected on the pick of his form, with Beholden and Litigate also worth a look.
