Verdict

No match for subsequent Grade 1 winner Idaho Sun on hurdle debut last month, this could be a good opportunity for THEY WANT ME to open his hurdles account. Lance Les Des finished with running left when third over C&D on reappearance and could improve, along with Linalene who finished fourth on what was effectively his hurdles bow last time. Once-raced bumper winner They're Chancers is one to note for support for the in-form Nicky Richards yard.

Likely needed bumper/Rules debut and shaped well (following wind surgery) on hurdling bow when no match for subsequent Grade 1 winner Idaho Sun at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) last month.

5	Had some solid form in bumpers and has shaped well in two of his 3 starts over hurdles, finishing with running left when third in a C&D novice (heavy) last month.

7	Related to a trio of winners and showed a fair level of ability in bumpers last season. Got no further than first on hurdles debut and should come on for his recent fourth over C&D.
