Verdict
Classic Lord won four times on the Flat but showed little on his first start for new connections. Olly Murphy has a couple of interesting runners but Bitsnbuckles is having a first run for the yard. DAMARTA has shown ability in both hurdle starts. He will need to settle better than at Newton Abbot but this is not a strong heat. Lady Caro was progressive in bumpers and Norman Fletcher won twice in that sphere but looked a very tricky ride on his hurdling debut before crashing out. Wyenot was third in a Southwell bumper in April but may need the experience.
