Jonjo O'Neill saddles an interesting recruit to the novice hurdling ranks in Hasty Prince. Rated 92 at his best on the flat when with Ben Hanbury, the son of Halling remains open to improvement on the level let alone over hurdles and, with nothing in the opposition making much appeal, he is taken to make a winning debut. The ex-German Alpha Noble, now trained by Venetia Williams, is another interesting debutante, while German-trained raider Atlantic Lady has to be respected with her trainer's fine record with his runners in the UK. The Clive Cox-trained Cosmocrat ran his best race over hurdles at Leicester last month and is another worthy of a mention, along with Dollar Law, who should find the company here less testing than on his two previous outings. Chepstow third Mythical King looks the best of the rest.
