Verdict

It's unsure as to what exactly BENTS HOLLOW achieved when landing the odds in a small-field novice at Musselburgh last month but he couldn't have done it much more impressively so, with improvement on the cards, Donald McCain's charge looks the one to side with. Midnight Shuffle made a winning start for Stuart Coltherd 15 months ago and she looks the main danger to the selection on hurdling debut, with Malaita rounding off the shortlist.

  1. BENTS HOLLOW (IRE)
  2. MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE
  3. MALAITA
