Holly Flight, who had some decent form over fences in Ireland, has run in Listed company for her new yard and should find this more to her liking. Haul Us In, who completed a hat-trick over hurdles in the spring of 2018, has made an excellent comeback after a long absence and was very impressive at Uttoxeter for which she's been raised 12lb. LONGHOUSESIGNORA (NAP) was equally impressive at Hereford in December and has raced over hurdles in her last two starts. Back over fences she's handed the vote though Talkofgold will have her supporters after following her Hereford victory with a fine run at Kelso. Skewiff is only 2lb higher than when scoring at this level at Uttoxeter a year ago but Irish raider Hidden Dilemma has shown nothing in two starts over fences.
