HANDMEDOWNASTAR built on the promise of his hurdling debut at this course when runner-up at Newton Abbot last month, so he could be ready to open his Rules account this time around. Flash Man has also made an encouraging start over hurdles and looks the biggest threat, with Midnight Pass the pick of the remainder.
