CARVED IN STONE showed plenty of ability in bumpers as well as a likeable attitude and starts out over hurdles at an ordinary level, so he’s fancied to kick his hurdle career off with a win. Cusack Park and Boyles Hill are obvious threats.

This seems likelyto develop into a match between DODGER LONG and Global Esteem, with preference for the former, who overcame some quite alarming early jumping to score with a bit in hand at Taunton in March and looks up to defying a penalty with further improvement on the cards.

BEAT BOX was out of sorts for previous connections in the spring but he’s potentially very well handicapped now starting out for the Dan Skelton yard and could well be worth siding with to prove the point before the benefit of market clues Recent C&D winner Dream Jet rates the chief threat, ahead of Clean Getaway and class-dropper Blueberry Wine.
