Baclama, who will be wearing a visor for the first time, is taken to complete a Martin Pipe/Rodi Greene double. He may have most to fear from hurdling debutante Bid Me Welcome, who at his best on the flat was a decent stayer. He may need further than this to show his best over hurdles. Arawak Prince comes here fit from the flat and may be good enough for minor honours.
