Arctic Vodka went close at Ayr before having an off-day at the same track last time when BEHINDTHELINES finished second. The latter should be winning at this level soon for Lucinda Russell’s in-form yard. Hangard also failed to complete behind the selection but has run well at Southwell subsequently while Western Honour finished a lot closer when fourth at Kelso recently and can also figure. Storm Nelson makes his hurdling debut having shown little in bumpers and Trust Me I'm A Dr has yet to complete under Rules.
