Billie John looks set to get back on the winning trial in this moderate affair, he goes on the ground and has not been disgraced of late in a lot better races. Top Of The Dee was well beaten in a maiden hurdle last time out and needs to improve on that to score but this faster ground may help. Hidden Exit could run into a place he was well beaten in a competitive novice hurdle last time and this looks a lot easier. Hawthorn ran well after a long absence last time out and is sure to have come on for the run he to has solid place claims.
