The pick of several appealing candidates is WAY OF STARS, who bettered his hurdles debut display when just missing out in a first-time hood over C&D last month, splitting a pair from the Paul Nicholls yard, including the re-opposing Babyken, who was a close-up third. Gnomon has shown plenty in his two starts in this sphere and he is feared most ahead of Babyken, while bumper winner Great Dance also enters calculations.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Babyken might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Bamber usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Bamber has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 4 starts.
