Top Drawer left previous form behind when headed right on the line by Ulverston here a couple of weeks ago. Lucky One reverts to maiden company having finished tailed off in a handicap last month and also gets a first-time hood. Bumper winner Buttsbury Lady makes her hurdling debut and points winners What About Time and Sing The Anthem do likewise. GUMBO FLYER is another tackling hurdles for the first time but he has bags of scope having placed in two bumpers, showing signs of inexperience in both.
