WISEGUY made a winning debut in a bumper at Doncaster at the start of the year. Related to a couple of winning hurdlers, Nicky Henderson’s charge can open his account over timber at the first time of asking. Datsalrightgino has placed in all four starts in bumpers while Get Prepared was contesting the lead at Kempton when falling three hurdles from home. Cobbs Corner and Calidad are likely improvers.
