Penalised pair GIDLEIGH PARK and East India Express marked themselves down as useful novices when winning on their respective hurdling debuts and rate the pair to focus on. The former gets the nod to maintain his 100% record now upped in trip. Fire Flyer, a useful bumper recruit, is also highly respected on hurdles bow. Itseemslikeit is another worth keeping an eye on.
