Gay Kelleway's Hustle faces no easy task on his hurdling debut in a race that looks to lie between MUTADARREJ and Get It On with preference for the former. The selection showed progressive form for Ian Williams on the flat, winning his last two starts in staying events at Bath before an encouraging run in a maiden hurdle at Worcester when narrowly beaten by Points Of View earlier this month, and he can open his account over timber today. Tim Vaughan's Contradiktive looks nothing out of the ordinary and of more interest may be Gary Moore's Sircozy, who has shown respectable form on the flat and has to be considered on his hurdling debut. Get It On became expensive to follow in Ireland but has shown reasonable form and has to be respected on his first outing for Evan Williams but preference is for Mutadarrej.
