Makhzoon is back in a seller for the first time since winning over track and trip just under a year ago but showed little on his reappearance at Perth. George Woolf looks a viable alternative though he, too, has shown little lately while Irish raider Mia's Vic was tailed off over 3m at Bellewstown on his latest start. SPIEKEROOG has won three times on the Flat and his form over hurdles last year was far superior to that of today's rivals. Jason Maguire should steer him to a comfortable victory with Langley and Moufatango probably best of the rest.
