Its Pandorama has won a maiden hurdle and a conditional takes over the reins for this. But CRAIG STAR is preferred as he can race off the same mark as when placed at both Bangor and Sedgefield in August and this looks an easier task. Castletown can race off a lower mark back over hurdles and Whatsthestoryman scored over fences at Hexham in May but Notnowsam is preferred on his recent third over hurdles at Hexham. Exit To Freedom went close at Uttoxeter last month but has been raised 8lb for his trouble and still has to race from out of the weights.
