Verdict

LIVIN ON LUCO ran a cracker on his reappearance and hurdling debut here just over two weeks ago. Further improvement is likely and he should be too good for the Paul Nicholls’ pair Hurricane Danny and Isaac Des Obeaux with the latter particularly disappointing at Cheltenham given he won a bumper here last season. Ask Brewster got outpaced over 2m here on his debut under Rules and the winning pointer will appreciate the extra and Captain Boudet was fourth over course and distance last month.
