2/7

Has looked a very good prospect with impressive victories in Wincanton bumper and Bangor novice hurdle. A clear round here should see him remain unbeaten.

Form: 1-1

80/1

Some fair efforts in bumpers for previous connections in Ireland but didn't seem to take to hurdling for new yard at Wincanton 13 days ago.

Form: 00-5447

11/4

Fair bumper winner who failed to meet expectations on hurdling debut/return at Uttoxeter (2m), though should learn from that and the race might prove decent. Surely the danger to Go Dante.

Form: 136-4

Forecasts

Go Dante (2/7), Tweed Skirt (11/4), Militry Decoration (25/1), Blueblood (80/1)

A penalty kick for GO DANTE and he can take his record to 3-3 before having his sights raised. Nicky Henderson's Tweed Skirt is the clear danger.
