It was good going when KHEZERABAD won a maiden hurdle at Sandown last month but he failed to cope under a penalty in testing ground at Haydock last time. Dropped in class today, he should have the measure of these. Give Him Time may need just that having finished closer at Kempton last time while Action Replay is another likely to improve back on a faster surface today. Jam Session and Faheem have form in bumpers and make their hurdling debuts.
