Philip Hobbs has had three of the last five winners and Aston Cantlow was returning from a year off when third at Sandown in February. He was then placed at Uttoxeter but was being ridden when falling at Chepstow last time and is beginning to look a little exposed. MOABIT (NAP) has only had one run over hurdles and came up against a decent novice in Cyrius Morviere at Doncaster. A winner three times on the Flat in France, he looks to have been found a good opportunity here. Ninepointsixthree ran well for a 100/1 chance when second here last month while Bigpipenotobacee may prove the pick of the Tom George runners.
