Bathwick Breeze gets the confident vote here with Storm Mission and Rosie's Glory rating the main dangers. The selection has won at up to 11 furlongs on the flat, is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Storm Mission rates the main danger as he was a fair fourth on his debut behind Inchlaggan. He looks sure to improve and could go well at a price. Rosie's Glory hails from a yard that does well in this sphere so should be watched in the market. Blossom King catches the eye on breeding and will not have to be anything special to land a blow but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Northern Dune is from a shrewd in form yard and is another to note in the market but he has shown little of late and with this in mind, for the winner we return to Bathwick Breeze.
