22/1
Point winner who ran out the decisive winner of a Down Royal maiden hunter (23.2f, good to soft) on Rules debut in May for Caroline McCaldin. Likely to make his mark in the novice division this season, but this looks a tough enough assignment on debut for new yard conceding weight all round.

Unbeaten in bumpers and winner of 3 of his 4 completed starts over hurdles last term, including a Grade 2 at Warwick. Departed 5 out in the Sefton (won by Apple Away) at Aintree when last seen in April. Greatly respected on chase debut.

16/1
Point winner who built on a promising hurdling debut last winter when opening his account in a Ffos Las novice (20f) in December. Chased home the useful Springwell Bay at Wetherby (19.7f) in March and interesting now chasing for all this looks a deep assignment.

5/6
Irish point winner who was a useful novice hurdler last term, landing Grade 1 Albert Bartlett in gutsy fashion at the Festival in March. Ran another solid race when fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree on final start and he's a most exciting chase debutant.

13/2
Completed a handicap hurdle hat-trick in good style at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 12 months ago and model of consistency thereafter, again finding only one too good at Haydock (24.2f) on final start in April. Good prospect for chasing for all this is no easy task on these terms.

Forecasts

Stay Away Fay (5/6), Grey Dawning (85/40), The Changing Man (13/2), Hurricane Highway (16/1), Ballydesmond (22/1)

Verdict

This may well concern graded novice hurdle winners STAY AWAY FAY and Grey Dawning. The former was a gutsy winner of the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham before a solid fourth in the Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree in April and gets the vote. The Changing Man may do best of the others.
