Wetherby hunter chase winner Bow School unseated his rider in a hunter chase here at the beginning of the month and could be of interest on his hurdling debut but it is hard to get away from MAJESTIC MAYHEM, who gets the vote over Mr Moonshine. Sue Smith's gelding, who was successful in a point in Ireland, looks to be going the right way over hurdles now after a comfortable success at Wetherby last month and he has every chance but may struggle under his penalty. Maurice Barnes has his string in good heart so Magnushomesdotcom has to be considered but he needs to improve and of more interest may be Yeomanry, who is lightly raced after just four starts and showed great promise on his debut for Ian Williams at Uttoxeter when chasing home Pure Faith at the beginning of the month. The selection though is George Moore's Majestic Mayhem, who showed winning form in points in Ireland, on his only start in a bumper for new connections and again first time up over hurdles over course and distance recently and he can follow up that success.
