Does anyone have any suggestions for a Hop Hog recipe using the coopers bootmakers pale ale as the base.

Some ingredients I have to pick from are.
Light Dry Malt
Brew Enhancer 2
Light Crystal

Hops
Cirta
Galaxy
Centennial

I have seen recipes using unhopped liquid malts but I don't want to copy those because I understand the pale ale tin is already quite bitter.
 
This is where im at so far.
