Captain Hugo
Won by 9l at Worcester (2m, good) in May on second bumper start and followed up on hurdle debut at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft; unraced on softer); that latest form reads well and he has leading claims today.

Race To Base
Had an experience edge when beating Captain Hugo in a bumper (2m, good); fifth in warm maiden at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on hurdle debut then won easily at 1-5 at Hereford (2m, good); has shown promise on good to soft; this is certainly a tougher assignment but he can give another good account.

Taurus Bay
Bought for 155,000 after winning on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) in February and made it 2-2 with easy win in novice hurdle at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in October; it remains to be seen where his limitations lie and he has to be respected.
