Point winner who shaped with promise when making the frame in a pair of Warwick bumpers this spring. However, hasn't looked straightforward sent hurdling this season and has a bit to prove now.

JUST GOLDEN impressed with the way he came clear late for mainly hands-and-heels riding in a bumper at Chepstow in February and can make a winning start in this sphere. Coastal Command made an encouraging start to his career when third in a Worcester bumper and rates the main threat ahead of Top Jimmy, who's penalised for his hurdling debut success here but will improve for the step up in trip.
