Alohamora was second over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month having won over the larger obstacles at the same track in November. Gavin Brouder is back on board and the eight-year-old is already a course winner but CHANTING HILL is back on a winning mark and looked to be coming to hand at Sedgefield three weeks ago. Becky Smith gets on well with Raddle And Hum but a career record of 1-17 is off-putting.
