Unison is on a roll and made a successful return to hurdling at Exeter. However, this is a much tougher assignment as Mystic Sky is respected having run well in both starts this autumn. Sleep Easy remains unexposed over timber but Applesandpierres is best watched after a poor run at Wetherby when he was well behind Our Thomas and CORNBOROUGH (NAP). Jamie Hamilton's mount appears to be back on song and is on a decent mark at present but Seven Kingdoms and Doubly Clever look to have a bit to do on these terms.
