Verdict

LUCKY SEVENS and Tiny Riot arrive with similar profiles, but James Owen's charge receives a handy 7 lb and that could prove the difference.

4	Modest 2-time winner on Flat. Half-brother to couple of winning hurdlers (one useful). Runner-up behind rival with slightly superior Flat form over C&D hurdling debut. Jumping ought to improve with that experience under his belt, and he may well go one better here. 1st Pick 4 Lucky Sevens Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: James Owen J: Jonathan Burke T: James Owen	95	-	-	-	56%

1	Went the right way on the level before making winning hurdling debut at Hexham. Mid-race blunder/quick turnaround contributed to him only matching that form at Market Rasen since. Closely matched with Lucky Sevens on Flat form (concedes 7 lb to that rival here), but there's probably more to come. 2nd Pick 1 Tiny Riot (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	63%

2	Related to a couple of middle-distance winners. Improved in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second on handicap debut at Chepstow (1¼m) latest. Now sent hurdling and no easy task taking on more experienced pair from excellent yards. 3rd Pick 2 Hello Garda (Ire) Jockey: Paddy Hanlon Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon, Ireland J: Paddy Hanlon T: John Joseph Hanlon, Ireland	78	-	-	-	10%
