Seebright defied a big weight in a handicap hurdle at this meeting last year so has to go on the short-list after getting off the mark over fences at Fontwell earlier this month. Big Society was only beaten a length at Chepstow in February while Warwick specialist Rockchasebullett has won over this trip between the flags. Ballytober has shown some ability but his last two runs have been a disappointment. Both of HOLLOW BLUE SKY's victories have come over shorter but he wasn't beaten far in a better race over 2m6f at Haydock last Saturday and this should be within his range. He has the best recent form so gets the nod.
