It could be worth chancing point-winner YOULITA, who did all he could from his position when third in a steadily-run bumper at Fairyhouse in November and he appeals as the type to make his mark now hurdling for his new stable. Bowensonfire sets the form standard and is an obvious danger for all he may find this trip on the short side. Arch Hall and Kentucky Beach can also make the frame.
