5/1
Showed ability sole outing in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when third in 9-runner maiden at Exeter (16.7f) 41 days ago. Longer trip here will suit and he's expected to improve.

Brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Diego du Charmil. Promise in a brace of 19.8f Sedgefield novice hurdles but wasn't in the same form in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap when a remote second at Wetherby 3 weeks ago.

Minor promise only in bumpers but more like it sent hurdling when runner-up in a Huntingdon maiden in November. Found to be lame when well held in a similar event there next time, so worth another chance.

Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up on Market Rasen hurdles debut. However, no impact either start this season.

Showed ability in bumpers and has done likewise over hurdles, though was in the process of running below form when brought down last in 19f handicap at Taunton 38 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Drash On Ruby (2/1), Patagonia (2/1), Young Buster (2/1), Almost Gotaway (5/1), Peace River (11/2), Shalott (20/1), Commander Miller (22/1), By Jove (28/1), Rudy Caprice (40/1), Kilfords Queen (150/1)

Verdict

YOUNG BUSTER showed promise on his Limerick hurdling debut prior to getting off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt in December, so he's an appealing candidate now setting out for Fergal O'Brien in what looks a very winnable race. Almost Gotaway will be suited by this step up in trip and has to enter calculations, while Peace River can be afforded another chance having found to be lame on his latest start at Huntingdon.
