Tees Component really is not worth opposing here despite his penalty having shown ability on the Flat, in bumpers and also on his hurdle debut. It is unlikely any of the debutantes with be good enough although market moves for Hadith (brought back to England after a spell in Dubai), Sikasso (some useful Flat form) or Vulcan Lane would be worth noting. Of those with hurdle form, the selection's stable mate Magical Field ran well in defeat last time out while Mighty Minster is slowly getting the hand of things over hurdles having shown some promise in bumpers. Mick Easterby is always respected at this time of year and his horses are running well so any moves for his Frankie Anson would be interesting but he needs to improve on recent efforts.
