Verdict
Going For Gold makes his hurdling debut after a couple of runs in bumpers. He won at Uttoxeter last summer so has some ability. Devilment could easily make a winning start for new connections as he's won twice on the Polytrack at Kempton up to 1m3f but it will be a surprise if PAIN AU CHOCOLAT doesn't go very close. He was only headed close home on his debut for Alan King at Market Rasen and will strip fitter here. Santa's Secret was second in a maiden bumper at Taunton in November and may do better now tackling hurdles.
