Maisy Belle has the best piece of form of those with experience of hurdling having finished fifth on good ground at Ayr last time. Collooney landed a bumper at Huntingdon on last month's debut under Rules and is related to a winner over hurdles while Irish point-to-point winner Uallrightharry has joined Linda Jewell and is preferred to stablemates Royal Concorde, Dragon Tattoo and Our Girl Acorn. BRANDON CASTLE is a useful handicapper on the Flat having won off a mark of 95 earlier this year. He's joined Neil King's yard and may well be good enough on his debut in this code given both half-brothers made winning starts over timber.
