THISTLE BE THE ONE should have scope from this sort of mark judged on his bumper ability and he might be worth chancing to make a winning start for new trainer Ben Clarke, who got back among the winners at Ffos Las on Tuesday. Byzantium scored back to back in the summer and should go well on his hat-trick bid with Paul Nicholls in good form. Last month's Ffos Las maiden winner At The Oche completes the shortlist.

    Westerner gelding who left his first 2 efforts behind when winning Ffos Las novice (2½m, soft) in April. Brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut/reappearance but this opening mark demands improvement.

    Verdict
    Fair Flat winner who was placed in 2m handicap hurdles in the spring. Below par on the Flat this summer but was strong in the betting on his return to hurdling only to unseat before halfway at Fontwell 6 weeks ago.

    Verdict
    Finished first then second in 2m novice hurdles at Warwick and Chepstow in the spring. His opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous but his very-lightly raced profile provides the hope for better. Now trained by Syd Hosie.
