Lightly raced ex-Irish 7-y-o who made it 2-3 for his new yard when making all in 3-runner novice hurdle at Warwick last month. Has a double penalty but still the one to beat.

Mastercraftsman gelding. Dam, smart 5f-9f winner (including US Grade 3), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (17f-2¾m winner) Kyalco.

Travelled well in first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark in a handicap at this venue (18.5f) last month. Looks the main danger to Fair Frontieres back in a novice.

Well held in a bumper but very much caught the eye upped markedly in trip when third on hurdling debut here, finishing with running left. Similar form at Hereford 3 weeks later.

Forecasts

Fair Frontieres (8/13), Earth Business (15/8), Lucky So And So (8/1), Crafty (50/1), Pencil (66/1), Glengeever (125/1), School For Scandal (200/1)

Verdict

FAIR FRONTIERES looks an uncomplicated ride and he's a pretty useful novice, so is fancied to successfully concede 12 lb all round. Earth Business and Lucky So And So are the obvious threats.
