Subramaniam was tailed off on his hurdling debut so this can go to ALFRAAMSEY. He'd gone close over timber on a couple of occasions before finally get his head in front at Plumpton a fortnight ago and looks the safest option despite a penalty. The remainder are all having their first start over hurdles and Buxfizz was the highest rated on the level. Kingston Tiger went close on the all-weather on his recent return to action and Newby Lodge won twice on the Flat in August, while Brian Ellison's Artisan is sure to know his job.
