| Bumper runner-up who shaped well off a steady pace when fifth of 8 on handicap bow at Aintree, and with hope that a bigger field/first-time tongue strap will help him settle better, he should have a bigger performance in him. | ||||||||

| Modest 11f Flat winner who needed the experience in a pair of hurdle starts last November but offered little on handicap debut/reappearance at Ffos Las (2½m). At least worth a market check with Jack Tudor taking over on second start for new yard, though. | ||||||||

EMERALD TIME should build on his recent eye-catching Aintree run and is taken to open his account in what hardly looks a deep race for the grade. Bobbarelli tackles 2m for the first time over hurdles and could be the main danger if getting into a rhythm on the front end. |
