Doyen gelding. Dam (h83) maiden hurdler. Pedigree nothing out of the ordinary but he made a promising debut when second of 7 at Huntingdon a month ago, running on. That sets the standard.

The Boss Bear (6/4), Hard Stare (6/4), Flying Pimpernel (11/2), Constellation Walk (6/1), Anothermanicmonday (33/1), She's A Woman (150/1)

HARD STARE looked in need of the experience starting out his Rules career in a traditionally-warm bumper at Newbury in March and this point winner is fancied to take a step forward. The Boss Bear is the obvious alternative unless the vibes are positive regarding Flying Pimpernel.
