Andy's Lad (IRE) Won two chases at Catterick in January; ninth to Batswing over hurdles at Doncaster last time out and cannot be ruled out in less competitive affair.
Tarxien Has found the company too hot in maiden hurdle company last twice, so hard to fancy here.
My Good Son (NZ) Beat Knockdoo in 2m 4f Haydock hurdle on second outing this term; could improve a little for that and reasonable chance of following up here.
