EARLY DAWNING shaped well when third on debut last year, briefly looking best before inexperience took over, and his hurdle bow could see him in a better light following a disappointing bumper effort that can be forgiven back in January. Dawn Coming has been placed in all 5 maiden hurdle starts and returns to obstacles after using a Flat run as a pipe-opener, while Tyson Fury was runner-up here in May.
