Race preview
Useful over hurdles, Hyland made a successful start over fences at Southwell in June and really should be capable of better than he showed when he was last-but-one in a five-runner handicap at Uttoxeter subsequently. He's undoubtedly a player, but the concession of 5lb to fellow unexposed chaser THEATRE MAN could be crucial. Richard Bandey's eight-year-old shades preference with first-time cheekpieces added for this drop back down in class. Irish raider Yeats Star appeals as the pick of the remainder.
