This looks an excellent opportunity for Grade 2 bumper runner-up DESTINATION DUBAI to make a winning start over hurdles. Perhaps bumper winner Kids Say Lastgojoe will be best of the rest, having shown a bit more on his second hurdle start. Two-time bumper runner-up My My My Delilah could also run well.[Ben Hutton]

Well beaten at 40-1 on sole hurdle start at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in February and could do with settling better; however, he won the Flat in December (1m6f, AW) and has an each-way shout if tapping into that ability.
Fourth in one of his points and very talented in bumpers, finishing second in Grade 2 at Aintree (2m1f, good) four weeks ago; he'll be extremely tough to beat if anything like as good on this first hurdle start.
Well beaten on hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in January and had been headed when unseating two out at Wetherby (2m, good) in March, but he was still running pretty well and this bumper winner holds each-way possibilities.
Fair fifth in the middle of her three bumpers but well beaten either side; saddle slipped early and soon pulled up when 250-1 for recent hurdle debut at Perth; others make greater appeal.
Made the frame in two good-ground bumpers and when pulled up on hurdle debut at Carlisle a fortnight ago she reportedly lost her action after a bad jumping mistake; not ruled out each-way.
Runner-up at Ayr (2m, soft) in February on second bumper start and another fair second at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) since; Destination Dubai has much better bumper form but she could give a good account on hurdle debut.
Made the frame in two bumpers and, after a modest spell on the Flat, didn't run badly when third on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good), albeit no match for the first two; could run into a place now back down in trip in first-time blinkers.
It's early days but she was soundly beaten on her debut in a bumper at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January, and it was the same story when this hood went on over hurdles over C&D (good) last month.
Her dam was a useful chaser over 2m4f-3m but she was well beaten at 18-1 on her debut in a bumper at Wetherby (2m, good) in March, and may be one for further down the line.
