ACE OF SPADES was quick to match his useful bumper form in this sphere when runner-up at Exeter last month and is fancied to build on it and go one better now. Irish challenger Whimsy comes here in great nick though so should ensure Dan Skelton's good prospect doesn't have things all his own way. Hurdling debutants Unleash The Beast and Maghlaak also bring potential to this intriguing maiden.

    Verdict
    Useful bumper winner last spring and he matched that level on just his second run over hurdles when an excellent second of 11 in novice at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Looks hard to beat here.

    Verdict
    Enjoyed a productive summer on the Flat, successful at Carlisle (14f) in June, and she posted a good second of 8 back in this sphere in novice at Galway (16f, soft) 21 days ago. This Irish mare holds solid claims.

    Verdict
    £150,000 purchase after winning sole start in Irish points and he has shaped well when placed in a pair of 2m novice hurdles at Uttoxeter and Carlisle this term. This demands more though.

    A fairly useful 10f winner on Flat for Charles Hills. Changed hands for 38,000 gns last month and he's a much respected hurdling newcomer.

    Malinas gelding showed some promise when fifth of 12 in bumper (13/2) at Chepstow on his debut 19 days ago. No forlorn hope now going hurdling for his good yard.
