This looks quite a deep novice but FIRESTREAM looked useful when making a winning hurdles debut at Chepstow last month and is taken to defy a penalty. Rath Gaul Hill can leave the bare form he achieved here last month behind and he's a threat, while the market may help sort out the pecking order of the Henderson-trained trio.
