The Craftymaster
7/1
MACHETE BEACH, a lightly-raced dual winner on the Flat for Harry Charlton, showed enough on his hurdling debut at Plumpton last May to believe he'll reach a similar standard over hurdles, so he's a straightforward choice to come out on top in what looks a notably weak maiden. Backer Bilk was given a considerate introduction to hurdling over C&D last month and is entitled to build on that, while The Craftymaster, a dual winner at up to 2m on the level this year, won't fail for stamina.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Whatcombe could be advantaged by a prominent position which looks likely in this field: Of the better-fancied horses, Backer Bilk is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Noble Don traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 2 starts.
