White Star Line was second in a Listed handicap at the Cheltenham Festival in March and is back over fences after a run over hurdles at Roscommon last month. He's an obvious candidate at this level but BACK IN FOCUS made a very satisfactory return from injury over the smaller obstacles at Tipperary in July and could be a very useful addition to the novice ranks. Already a winner between the flags, he won a Grade 2 contest on his hurdling debut at Haydock in February last year and has plenty of scope. Double Seven and Lethal Weapon have ability but Jack Bene may need this after a break.
