Overstate won over track and trip back in February and has been hurdling without success since. Doublethetrouble placed at Southwell when ahead of Wannabe Brave but BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE makes most appeal. The latter was a beaten favourite on soft ground last time but gets the vote having earlier placed over course and distance on his handicap debut. Third Batch and Gino's Girl are others with a shout if staying the longer trip.
