Easement progressed into a decent staying hurdler last season but may just need this after an absence since April. Gulf Punch was raised 10lb for winning here in August but still managed to score at Musselburgh last month. Another 9lb rise makes this much tougher but he's still likely to be competitive. Overyou couldn't handle higher grade at Ascot and this is more his level but RIGHT ENOUGH looks the one to be on. Tim Walford's charge showed nothing in maiden company but it was a different matter on his handicap debut at Kelso where he was only caught in the dying strides over 3m3f. The remainder were well beaten off and he can surprisingly race from the same mark here.
