A potentially informative maiden hurdle with All Set To Go an obvious contender. Paul Nicholls has only had two runners here in five years and both won. His four-year-old was a Group-class performer on the Flat in Ireland and fourth on his hurdling debut at Kempton last year. But ONE MORE GO looks worthy opponent given he's been in form on the Flat year, winning three times. He also landed a bumper at Musselburgh in January and could be a smart recruit to hurdling. Nam Hai has won over 1m4f on the all-weather but David Bass is on Kim Bailey's other runner Boolavard King. Bibi D'eole and At The Top are likely improvers but Walkami may need the experience and prolific pointer Roycano is likely to find a few of these too speedy.
