Not much hurdles form to go on in this but there are plenty who have shown ability in bumpers and between the flags. GREEN DOLPHIN was a disappointing favourite for a Listed bumper at Newbury in March and finished behind Imperial Alcazar. But a switch to hurdles should see him in a better light and it would be no surprise to see him reverse that form today. Corrany was well behind at Newbury but Lossiemouth looked a nice prospect when scoring at Newcastle and Carlisle last winter. Frisson Collonges has a jumping pedigree and is another to note for future reference.
