CLONDAW CIAN was outclassed behind Yanworth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time but Suzy Smith's charge is two from two at this track and will find this a lot easier. He'll be a short price today but is difficult to oppose. It's A Steal has won twice over fences and only run twice over hurdles. He'll have benefited from December's run at Ludlow while Dylanseoghan ran a lot better at Kempton last month. Robert's Star has a solid NH pedigree and has plenty of scope but will be having his first run since November and may need more time.
