Wings Attract is penalised for a win at Fakenham but should still go well while Braavos won a bumper at Market Rasen last month and makes his hurdling debut. But ABBREVIATE came up just short when second at Warwick on his first start over timber behind the progressive Canicallyouback and he gets the nod to go one better. Young Dillon has his first start for a new trainer having made the frame over hurdles at Downpatrick and point to point winner De Bene Esse makes his debut under Rules.
