Bugle Major was third on his hurdling debut at Catterick but has never won in this country. Enthused hasn’t managed to improve on his second here last month while Mistral Nell blotted her copybook when pulled up at Plumpton. Overstate, successful three times on the Flat, wasn’t disgraced at Ludlow and will know more today but NOTHINGTOCHANCE was an eye-catcher behind the useful Bonttay at Exeter and can go one better.
