This looks a good opportunity for HE'S BRESILIAN, who was a promising third at 50-1 on his hurdle debut at Wetherby last month. Second choice is Young Getaway, who has made the frame on all three hurdle starts and could benefit from this drop back in trip for the time being. New Invention is an interesting newcomer from the Greenall/Guerriero stable and is one to watch in the betting.[Ben Hutton]

Point winner (3m, good) who was a promising second on hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in November; however, he's weakened when soundly beaten the next twice (2m3f/2m, soft/good to soft) and has to raise his game.
Tailed off at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month on final bumper start but prior to that he was a fair third here (2m1f, good to soft), and he's not ruled out each-way for his in-form yard on hurdle debut.
Fair fourth last August on penultimate Flat start; however, at 20-1 he jumped to the right and unseated at the first flight on last Sunday's hurdle and stable debut at Musselburgh; best watched on the back of that.
Fair efforts in the autumn in his two bumpers (both on soft) and took big step forward with 50-1 third on last month's hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft); he's the one to beat if confirming that latest promise.
18,000euros 3yo; tenth foal; closely related to useful winners A Great View (2m-3m1f jumps) and Roll It Out (2m hurdle), half-brother to 2m3f hurdle winner Contemplatemyfaith (RPR 123); catches the eye on breeding and market support could precede a big run on debut.
Went close on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) last February but tailed off on both hurdle starts and he'll be of greater interest when tackling handicaps.
4,000euros foal, 5,200euros 3yo; sixth foal; closely related to winners Manofthemoment (2m-3m2f hurdle/chase; RPR 116) and A Different World (2m4f hurdle; 104); has had wind op prior to debut; may be best watched.
Promising third towards end of last year on first two hurdle runs (2m, good to soft/soft); failed to settle and faded into fourth when upped in trip here (2m4f, soft) last time; could be a player now back down in trip.
