Bongo Furry has twice been beaten at odds-on but is taken here as the TEAMtalk selection to land this weak contest. He was unable to quicken last time out having attempted to make but should have learned his lesson and will be hard to beat. Cashel Dancer only had fair Flat form but showed enough promise on his hurdling debut to suggest he could trouble the favourite. Bude was unfancied and well beaten on his debut but should come on for that effort.
