Verdict

FIRST MAN soon returned to form back over hurdles when third at Sedgefield in February and, having had a wind op since then, he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark. Callisto's King has shaped well on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger in first-time cheekpieces, while Western Jill also merits consideration.
