Reflet Ambre didn't shown much in two runs on the Flat in France a year ago but Edward O'Grady will have him right for his hurdling debut. Manuka didn't score on the level but produced some fair efforts and, now with Tony Martin, is likely to improve over timber. BEAUTIFUL BEN was a 33/1 chance on his racecourse debut at Tramore but caught the eye with a staying-on finish behind the well-regarded Wood Breizh. With that under his belt he should be up to winning this. Princess Layla looks a threat as Mags Mullins' winning bumper will have benefited from her opening run over hurdles last month.
