Get It On is back over hurdles after coming up short over fences in a Listed contest at Newton Abbot in August but may be high enough in the weights now. Peckhamecho and Join The Clan are best watched for now while Highway Code fell on his latest start under NH Rules, though is fit from the Flat. Boondooma should be capable of further progress this season and so should CLOUD CREEPER. Philip Hobbs' charge was beaten twice on faster going in the spring but has his favoured ground for his return and looks fairly handicapped. Colebrooke and the returning The Happy Warrior might struggle in this grade.
