1	Left first hurdle start well behind (in first-time tongue strap) when staying on strongly from an unlikely position to land 2m maiden at Taunton (heavy). Different conditions a question mark but sets the standard with runner-up having won since. 1st Pick 1 A King Of Magic (Fr) Jockey: Freddie Keighley Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Freddie Keighley T: Paul Nicholls	100	-	-	-	63%

3	Made short work of his rivals when making all at Southwell on hurdle debut but subsequently found Grade 2 company a bridge too far. Should do better with sights lowered. 2nd Pick 3 Desertmore News (Ire) Jockey: Jack Andrews Trainer: Tom Ellis J: Jack Andrews T: Tom Ellis	98	-	-	-	39%

6	Fair bumper form in Ireland and showed much more second time up over hurdles when third at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) on stable debut (40/1) last month. Should do better at some stage and market expected to offer plenty of clues. 3rd Pick 6 Passing Diamond (Ire) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Ben Haslam J: Richie Mclernon T: Ben Haslam	96	-	-	-	15%
