Pullyourfingerout didn't show a great deal on his hurdling bow at Ludlow but he took a remarkable step forwards when winning by over 20 lengths at Taunton in a first time tongue tie and appears to hold leading claims under a penalty on that evidence. However, he may struggle to reproduce that form on a soft surface so could be worth fielding against at the likely prices and it may be worth giving MANXMAN the chance to improve significantly on his hurdling bow in a fair race at Wetherby. James Eustace has done well at this track with his hurdlers so it will be interesting to see whether Storming Redd attracts any support. Marsh Warbler has his first run for Brian Ellison and arrives on the back of victory in a Leicester seller and is of interest along with Rare Malt and Rahaala.
