Alsadaa is selected here ahead of Hansomelle, Tiegs and Top Gear. Alsadaa created a good impression when scoring at Huntingdon on his hurdling debut and can build on that here. Hansomelle showed some promise on the Flat at up to a mile so could go well, while Tiegs is the type that could take to this game. Lightly raced, Top Gear achieved a rating in the 80s on the Flat and his hurdling debut last time was not without promise. Of the others, Changing Lanes showed some promise on his bumper debut and could go well and Young Owen has already won over hurdles - albeit at selling level - but, for the selection, we return to Alsadaa.
