A £115,000 purchase, Fishkhov finished fourth in a bumper in October and any strong support on his hurdling bow could prove significant. PENNYFORAPOUND (NAP) was no match for Took The Lot when second over course and distance but the latter is rated 130 and that looks decent form in this context. Rebecca Curtis’ charge is taken to go one better in this given Supervisor was beaten a long way when second at Hereford last time. Miss Tara Moss finished closer at Hexham but Representing Bob makes his hurdling bow.
