Zamat, who won a conditional jockey race last time out in good style and escapes a penalty, is the TEAMtalk choice to score again with the ground holding no terrors and his stable in such fine form. Sun Bird won the Newton Cup on the Flat this year and looks an above average recruit to hurdling. He will also go on the ground but he may come on for this his first run over hurdles. Harrovian ran well on his debut in a bumper when second behind Iris's Gift at Newbury and will have been well schooled for his hurdling bow but his stable has been quiet in the winner department of late. Lady Lap Dancer was third in a poor seller last time and will need to improve to score. Jupiter De Bussy also showed a modicum of ability in bumpers but is bred for stamina and may be suited by further while the remainder look as if they will come on for the experience.
