JESUITIQUE is on the up for Dr Richard Newland and his recent second at Market Rasen has a solid look to it, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking handicap hurdle. Ballymillsy, dropping back in grade, makes plenty of appeal, and Padleyourowncanoe is an intriguing runner on his debut for Dan Skelton.
