Litterale Ci often runs well but has not won over hurdles in almost four years and regular pilot Aine O’Connor can only claim 3lb nowadays. Dandy Mag only beat one home at Worcester in June having finished last in his two previous starts while Vision Des Flos is better over fences and also hard to catch right. HOOPER (NAP) looks the one to beat back up in trip after his latest third at Stratford as he is best on sharp, left-handed tracks like this.
