Travelled with much more purpose when runner-up on second hurdles start at Exeter in March. Shade disappointing despite occupying same spot at Newton Abbot a month later and off since but he sets the standard.

Forecasts

Light Em Up Nigel (13/8), Spirit Of Regulus (7/4), Three Platoon (5/1), Jacks Orchard (15/2), Lucky Light (14/1), Artistic Endeavour (16/1), Charlie's Rockstar (125/1), Bebside Banter (150/1)

SPIRIT OF REGULUS displayed ability when fourth in a bumper back in the spring and is bred to come into his own now hurdling, so he could be the answer given he's sure to be well prepared for this. Light Em Up Nigel sets the standard on his brace of runner-up efforts last term, with point-recruit Jacks Orchard another to consider.
