DUNSKAY (4) won two of his three jumpers’ flat events including latterly at Huntingdon by three lengths. Has good form in the book to find success at the first time of asking over hurdles. Main choice. LUD'OR (9) has placed on both starts tackling hurdles including a good 2L third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter. Back down in trip but will not reduce his chances. Main danger. JUBY BALL (6) makes his hurdle debut for a local yard. Placed 2.75L second in a jumpers flat race at Sandown which has respected future hurdle form. Potential. LARAVIE (12) represents a stable that usually do well with these novice hurdlers. Not discounted.
