Verdict

JORAH D'ALMA sets the standard on his third at Bangor in March and receives the vote with the step up in trip likely to be within range. Loman Lady flopped badly on her hurdling debut at Hexham but will surely prove capable of appreciably better, with Trigger The Light also commanding respect.

1	Irish point winner who came from off the pace to win a Ludlow bumper. Low-key start to hurdling career but much more like it fitted with a tongue tie when third at Bangor in March and not disgraced 10 weeks on from a fall when filling same spot here (2m) 15 days ago.
