Max Pride made a winning return to hurdles last time out and is expected by TEAMtalk to follow up despite the rise in weights. His win over course and distance 17 days ago was run in a good time and having proven in the past he likes this ground he is a confident selection. Look To The Future was a decent prospect a couple of years ago and ran well for a long way on his reappearance 9 days ago. He should improve on that effort and be among the finishers. Kaluga was going the right way last season and has run well when fresh. The chances are he has strengthened up over the winter and would have an each-way squeak if his trainer was in better form. The Full Nelson was a smart prospect for Nicky Henderson a couple of years ago but showed little on his return for new connections 16 days ago. He is best watched here. Wartorn has some good form in the book and ran in a better race than this at Newbury last time. Capable on the ground he should give the selection most to do.
