Verdict
TIGERTEN is making his hurdling debut and having a first run for a new stable. He also has an absence to overcome but won twice over 2m on the Flat and will handle both trip and conditions here so gets a tentative vote. Chepstow maiden winner Young Butler should find this easier after pulling up in an Ascot handicap but Pumpkin's Pride needs to take a step forward from his latest fifth over course and distance. Aikenbreakinheart only placed once in Ireland in five attempts.
