Former winning hunter To The Future made several mistakes before being pulled up on his seasonal return at Aintree in November. However, this lightly raced mudlark bounced back to form when a close second over course and distance last time so should take plenty of beating off an identical mark particularly with further improvement to come. Camp Hill was a shock winner here on Boxing day but his overall form leaves him with something to find under a 7lb penalty while Clonshire Paddy may struggle under top weight in these testing conditions. Atlantic Power is well treated on his best hurdling form and goes in the ground so could prove a bigger danger off a low weight.
