Form & Verdict
Nayef filly; sibling to 7.3f-1m2f Flat winners out of the owner's dual-purpose scorer Last Supper (RPR 129 hurdles); yard has already recorded two first-time bumper successes with older horses this term, and has debut-winning form in this age group as well; looks the answer.

Good-ground bumper winner who has run okay when fourth on first two hurdle starts (2m/2m1f, soft/good to soft); her form is significantly inferior to that of A Path To Ronda but she's certainly a place contender.

Form & Verdict
Mahsoob filly; dam won an Irish point (good) and a 2m7f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (heavy), and hails from the family of Hello Bud and Esha Ness; would be forgiven if finding this assignment already on the sharp side, and yard isn't ordinarily associated with bumper winners.

Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account.

Got off the mark in a classified at Ayr in July in a first-time visor (retained until now), finishing in the frame on all four starts since; first-time blinkers now take over and holds claims if new headgear can eke out further improvement.
