FORTUNE DE MER (2) was last seen struggling in the G1 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham clearly out of his depth. Previously won a Listed race at the same venue and rates a good chance providing hurdle debut. KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES (4) managed to build on a promising debut narrowly winning a jumpers flat race at Fakenham in February. Bred to improve for the switch to hurdles and his trainer boats a 22% record at this track. Major danger. TOP JIMMY (6) suggested some ability in two jumpers flat races last season. Dangerous to underestimate ahead of his obstacle and stable debut. WILD GOOSE (7) ran second in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow (2mf) during April. Subsequent wind surgery might lead to a better performance.
