David Pipe's fairly useful-winning hurdler BASHFUL BOY made an encouraging return to this sphere when a running-on fourth here last month and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Minister For Magic is feared most, especially if this return to a longer trip sparks improvement, with Smart Champion appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
