Jeremiah McGrath has captured a few headlines lately, most noticeably when steering Eradicate to a second triumph in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock. He's picked up a few decent rides for Nicky Henderson but teams up with Alan Swinbank here on board PYRUKAN. The Pyrus newcomer is a half-brother to couple of Flat winners in Italy and may have more speed than his rivals in this. John Wade's Romany Ryme is another debutant with potential but Langley House will probably do better when tackling longer trips over hurdles. Swaledale Lad, third over C&D last month, looks the one most likely to profit should inexperience count against his market rivals.
