BATHWICK SCANNO was beaten less than three lengths on his hurdling debut at Hexham in June and probably ran up to that form when again second at Newton Abbot following a break. That's the best form on offer and David Pipe's charge should make it third-time lucky here. Kissing Clara has never won outside of selling class but did have Reach Out behind when successful at Stratford last month though, along with Freedom Flyer, finished behind Alfraamsey at the same track earlier. Colebrook wasn't disgraced on his debut at Market Rasen and can probably do better so should make the frame here.
