Captain Hugo (G)
FAV
Son of Soldier of Fortune created an excellent impression when making a winning start in this sphere in 11-runner novice at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. That form is working out well so he's the one to beat.

Race To Base (G)
Point winner who built on his hurdling debut promise when easily landing 9-runner novice at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. This is tougher but he shouldn't be underestimated.

Taurus Bay (G)
£155,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and he won readily on his hurdling bow in 2m Stratford novice (good to soft) 37 days ago. This son of Poet's Word looks a useful prospect.
