FORTY COATS (4) found just one better when returning from a layoff in a maiden hurdle. Likely type to break the maiden tag. JOYSTICK (7) was a winner of a jumpers flat race when making seasonal return last year. Shaped with ability and dangerous if taking to fences. JAMES'S GATE (6) grabbed a minor place in the G2 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle last season. Not seen since but may have too much for rivals if retaining that ability. BALLYSAX HANK (1) has been running with a lot of credit of late. Two second places read well. Every chance.
