Ramore Will landed a novices' handicap here in September though like his previous victory over hurdles that was on ground much faster than he'll face here. Duhallow Lad went up 10lb for finishing second over hurdles at Newbury and makes his debut over fences from his new mark. Le Coeur Net went up 8lb for scoring over shorter here in January but ran well on a return visit though SIR HUBERT, who had been well beaten in that earlier event, reversed the form in no uncertain terms and looks the one to be on. Lillington hails from a yard in top form and should improve on his second at Taunton last time.
