Trainer Paul Nicholls won this last season and THE BLUESMAN (8) can make a successful hurdling debut. A commanding winner of a jumpers flat at this venue in April he looks a useful recruit to hurdling and could take some stopping. SEATOIT (7) showed promise in Irish jumpers flat contests then disappointed on stable debut at Cheltenham. Trained by Kim Bailey and cannot be ignored with the switch to hurdling expected to suit. ESPOIR DES FORGES (1) is the pick of those with hurdle experience following two solid placed efforts at Warwick last season. Consider. NUBE DE TRUENO (5) requires a market check debuting.
