Race preview
Olly Murphy's only runner on the card THE FLYING POET looked in need of the experience on hurdles debut at Bangor last month, but shaped promisingly to finish fourth and any improvement could see him get competitive. Major Champion has undergone wind surgery since filling the third spot here 33 days ago and could give the selection the most to think about. Independent Jimmy is another to consider on the back of a fine second at Market Rasen.
