Plenty of chances but not many were at their best on latest starts. Those at the head of the weights certainly disappointed last time with the exception of the lightly-raced, unexposed Revasser. The gelding has shown ability in novice hurdles and ran with promise at Wetherby after an absence of 321 days. Allo Allo, Templehills and Fine By Her have all won here and Hurricane Vichi is a possible, although San Pedro makes more appeal having been consistent of late. Jack Wildman's 7lb claim could also be useful. CLUAIN AODHA was never going at any stage when pulled up here last time but is forgiven that run as her previous string of four successive runner-up efforts read well - she's worth another chance.
