A bumper winner at Cheltenham, One Term went close in a similar event to this at Hereford last month and has every chance on that form. However, CHARM SCHOOL has also gone close in a maiden hurdle when beaten only a length at Lingfield on his penultimate start and as that run came in heavy ground, Evan Williams' charge gets the vote here. Dual bumper winner Josh's Dreamway failed to figure on her hurdling bow at Wincanton but he should be capable of better as should Reste Gosse.
