Bumper winner HONOURS GRADUATE looks the most qualified to win this maiden hurdle on his UK debut and he is taken to recover from a fall last time and beat the likes of Baily Storm and On My Terms. Only a mistake at the last stopped the selection from a possible victory on his jumping bow two starts ago. He still only found one to good that day, finishing ahead of a subsequent winner, and while it is a worry he fell next time up the longer trip leading to a slower pace here should helping him get his jumping together. Baily Storm has a bit to find on these terms but has been running well with little success until now. He pulled up when the ground looked against him last time and we give him another chance here especially on his debut for a yard with a good record with other stables' castoffs first time up. On My Terms ironically has terms against him but is in good heart after finding just one too good in a seller last time and with little else here making much appeal Honours Graduate can get the first.
