Drumlee makes his hurdling debut having finished last in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham back in March. He's worth noting for the future but MR FIFTYONE may come out best in this. The latter is a half-brother to a winning hurdler and won a bumper at Gowran on last month's racecourse debut. Carrow Queen made a decent enough start over timber when fourth at Sligo only to disappoint last time and Giantofaman never figured on his hurdling bow, although he's been placed in a couple of bumpers since. Maximum Feat and Noble Call could prove best of the remainder.
