Bobcatbilly has won five times over fences but has yet to score over hurdles. WEST WIZARD makes more appeal despite failing to complete at Sandown last time as he won a bumper here before making the frame on three occasions over these hurdles. The remainder are harder to fancy though Dadsintrouble is likely to improve on a modest debut at Chepstow and One Big Love showed some ability in bumpers last year.
