Sebastian's Wish won three times on the Flat at Musselburgh last summer and is an interesting recruit to hurdling. Enfin Phil, a winner over hurdles in France on heavy ground, should be winning soon for new connections after a very good run at Wetherby in December though may find the going a bit lively. Zoffany Bay won a Plumpton maiden in November and hasn't performed badly in better company subsequently though this looks destined for YOUNG WOLF. Richard Johnson takes over on Jonjo O'Neill's charge, who was in the lead at this trip when just beaten into third over 2m3f at Hereford.
