Well beaten on both starts over hurdles so far. Beaten 33L on good ground at Kilbeggan last time out and others make more appeal on his return from a break.
Ran well in three starts over hurdles last year but absent since finishing 24L third at Kilbeggan (good-to-yielding) last August. Interesting runner on his return from an absence.
Placed twice from three starts in bumpers in France last year. Finished runner-up behind a useful hurdler/chaser at Moulins (1m4f, good-to-soft) on his most recent start and is likely to prove hard to beat on debut for a top yard.
Forecasts
Epswell (4/9), Melly And Me (3/1), Unchago (9/1), Ozzie's Way (16/1), Masterofdiscovery (50/1), Makeyourcall (100/1)
EPSWELL can make a winning hurdling debut by taking this small field maiden contest. The selection showed good form in France last year and can get the better of Melly And Me who was narrowly beaten last time out. Unchago showed promise last year and he can finish third on his return.
