Winding River and Aprils Joy have both won over hurdles around here. The former made a promising start over fences here but has jumped poorly in subsequent starts while the latter showed nothing in three starts over fences in 2020 though is given another chance. Son Of Hypnos has his first start over fences and won't need to be a world-beater to get involved but CLONBURY BRIDGE showed much-improved form when a close second at Sligo and that would probably be good enough.
