BERTIE'S BALLET finished with running left when second on his hurdling debut at Wetherby last month and, given his useful level of form in bumpers, he can take a step forward to get off the mark in this sphere. Norman Fletcher arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, with Jo Arengeot Bey AA the pick of the remainder.
