Champion Bumper third CAPTAIN TEAGUE goes hurdling for the first time and it is no surprise to see him all the rage to make a winning start. He dotted up in his point to point and then made a successful start under Rules impressing at Plumpton. He was only beaten 2 and a half lengths at Cheltenham and looks to have a bright future now sent over obstacles. Rock House couldn't have won any easier on hurdles debut at Worcester and looks the one to chase him home.

Kingman filly KELLET has been snapped up by Juddmonte following that impressive win at Salisbury and she looks a good bet to make it 2 wins from 3 starts here. The form of her last win has been franked since with the runner-up Serene Seraph winning head in chest at Newbury and even the fifth Spinto Soprano won like a nice prospect at Southwell earlier in the week. She is unexposed and should follow up. Chic Colombine has been hugely impressive but this is easily her tougher task to date now pitched into Group company.
