Irish raider Feel The Air may be running into form while Towcester third Arthur Mc Bride could figure if on a going day. Ueueteotl rallied well to get the better of favourite Tickenwolf at Hexham but an 8lb rise is excessive. The switch back to hurdles at Towcester didn't bother Ever So Much and he's now on a hat-trick but Letbeso prefers soft ground and Sendiym is racing from out of the handicap. FREDERIC CHOPIN, a consistent stayer on the Flat, has bags of scope over hurdles having only run twice. He didn't beat much at Carlisle in October but the longer trip here will be much more suitable.
