1/1
2-2 in points and has looked useful when winning both starts in novice hurdles in recent months, latterly over 2¾m here. Fancied to remain unbeaten.

18/1
Half-brother to smart hurdler/useful chaser Darver Star. Third in a point but he ran to just a modest level when 19 lengths sixth on his Ayr hurdle debut 18 days ago. Improvement needed.

Del La Mar Rocket31
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling
17/2
Made all in an Exeter bumper a year ago. Needed experience when well-held fourth on his Hexham hurdle debut 31 days ago, jumping sketchily. Likely to improve with that behind him.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey
13/2
Won sole start in Irish points. Shaped reasonably well pitched pitched into a listed bumper on his Cheltenham Rules debut. Should be up to making presence felt in race like this now hurdling.

7/2
Hexham bumper winner in April. Fair form in 2 hurdles at Wetherby this term. Should figure but will need to pull out a bit more for win purposes.

33/1
£30,000 buy after finishing second in Irish point. Found 2½m around Musselburgh a bit sharp for him when a modest third on his hurdle debut and this stiffer track should play more to his strengths.

18/1
Showed ability in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle last winter. Possible he could have more to offer for new stable. Worth a precautionary betting check.

Forecasts

Crystal Glory (1/1), Grand Du Nord (7/2), Dibble Decker (13/2), Rafferty's Return (8/1), Del La Mar Rocket (17/2), Benack (18/1), Lead The Pack (18/1), Hold Onto The Line (33/1), Uncle Gez (200/1)

Verdict

CRYSTAL GLORY can make light of a double penalty and remain unbeaten. Dibble Decker didn't run too badly in a listed bumper on his Rules debut and it could be that he provides the chief threat ahead of Ben Pauling's Del La Mar Rocket.

  1. CRYSTAL GLORY
  2. DIBBLE DECKER (IRE)
  3. DEL LA MAR ROCKET (IRE)
