Baby King has changed stables since springing a 33/1 shock in a maiden hurdle at Navan in March and may be best watched under a 10lb penalty. L'Amiral David was beaten almost 60 lengths when fourth at Uttoxeter while Carnaross was well beaten at Fakenham but Kingfisher Creek may be capable of better. Southwell bumper winner Summer Storm is interesting and Pull The Chord has been placed in point-to-points but OZZY THOMAS should be thereabouts as well. Though no match for the useful Mile House in a bumper at Southwell in July, the switch to hurdles should see Jonjo O'Neill's gelding in a better light.
