Majordomo
Several to consider here, with preference for Newcastle bumper winner MAJORDOMO, who is bound to have been well-schooled ahead of this hurdles debut and could turn out to be an above-average recruit. Playful Fox was a fair way behind Diamond Jim at Bangor, but it would be no surprise to see Dan Skelton's representative leave that form well behind here and emerge as the main danger ahead of both that rival and Leicester winner Lucy The Wire.

Decent pedigree and did well under the circumstances when making a winning debut in a 17f Newcastle bumper last month (re-opposing stablemate Marvel Magic back in fourth). Almost certainly above-average and should make his presence felt now switched to hurdles, granted a slick round of jumping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper1/8- 7The GraysterJ: Luke ScottT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole2Age 35/23/111/4

Decent jumps pedigree and offered something to work on when chasing home clear-cut winner Aqua Bleu (successful again since) in a Doncaster juvenile hurdle (16.6f, good to soft) last month. Will be more street-wise this time and he needs considering.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/6- 2Lucy The WireJ: Jonathan BurkeT: James Owen21Age 39/27/24/1

Runner-up in a juvenile hurdle sole start for Denis Hogan in Ireland in October and duly went one better on debut for new yard at Leicester (15.5f, soft) the following month. Another bold show anticipated.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester1m 7f 113ySoftHurdle1/5Cork2m 1f 70yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle2/15- 1Diamond JimJ: Craig NicholT: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero27Age 39/211/25/1

Encouraging debut when finding only the well-backed favourite too good on debut in 16.7f junior hurdle at Bangor, in turn pulling well clear of the rest. Completely misfired in a listed contest at Aintree since, but was probably amiss that day and remains of interest in view of his debut promise.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree2m 209ySoftHurdle7/7Bangor-on-dee2m 145ySoftHurdle2/8- 4Marvel MagicJ: Patrick WadgeT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore4Age 311/111/112/1

Was shorter in the betting than stablemate/eventual winner Majordomo in a Newcastle bumper last month, but had to settle for fourth place. Likely to come into his own when faced with a stiffer test in time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper4/8- 6Playful FoxJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan Skelton3Age 311/111/112/1

Came home 16 lengths adrift of second-placed Diamond Jim when third on debut at Bangor, but he came from further back than that rival (and the winner) and is bound to improve with that run under his belt. Has undergone a wind and tongue strap applied.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 145ySoftHurdle3/8- 5Pippin's LegendJ: David BassT: Charlie Longsdon4Age 318/122/120/1

Debut fourth in a 9-runner Huntingdon bumper (15.8f, soft) was certainly not devoid of promise, albeit he is another who will likely be seen in a better light when faced with a stiffer test.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHuntingdon1m 7f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper4/9
