PATIENT DREAM has yet to translate anything like his useful Flat ability to hurdles but it is still relatively days and he might be worth chancing on this first outing for new handler Donald McCain. Monjules is another who has changed yards and he'd rate a big threat if the betting suggests he's fancied. Hildenley's Flat ability suggests he should be up to making an impact in handicap hurdles from a mark in the low-90s so he's also on the shortlist.
