Point-to-point winner TIQRIS has some very useful bumper form to his name. He steps up in distance for his debut over hurdles and is probably the one to beat though Sandanski, winner of a Bangor bumper in April, is another interesting newcomer. King Helissio, another winning pointer, and Off The Wall also warrant a second look while Whatsupjack may be best of those with hurdling experience having finished third at Fakenham on his reappearance as Black Is Beautiful is just starting to look a little exposed.
