Quite a few promising types here and it might be worth giving another chance to FLAME BEARER who will hopefully go off at an each-way price. Pat Doyle's inmate was rather low-key on hurdling debut but impressed in landing a couple of bumpers, one of which came on the heavy ground he's due to face here. He should come on plenty for that initial hurdling run. Both Bronn and Killer Mode looked useful in landing their respective bumper successes and there's every chance they will transfer that promise to hurdling. One Last Tango also has a bumper win to call upon and is respected along with Noble Birth and Bang On Target.
