Verdict
Our Chief probably has some scope while Neck Or Nothing ran well for a long way on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and can challenge the three previous winners in this. GLINGERBURN was having his first run over hurdles and returning from a lay-off when beating the well-regarded Relic Rock by a couple of lengths here in November. He's been given six weeks to recover from those exertions and can deny Nicolas Chauvin a second victory over obstacles. The latter may not have beaten much at Fakenham while the ground may be too quick for Southwell scorer Some Buckle, who should also be better over further.
