Marcel, Guru, and Flying Enterprise are the three to consider here and Flying Enterprise can score. Guru ran well over hurdles last time at Lingfield, staying on well to be a close second to a well fancied type. His only previous run over fences was a respectable one, finishing third and he can reach a place here. Flying Enterprise won a good Haydock handicap hurdle at this time last year and although he hasnt won since, he has run well in two chases this season, finishing the runner up on both occasions. he looks a real threat with that experience under his belt. Marcel seems a shadow of his former self. He hasnt won for almost two years and was well beaten when falling last time. He seems very much in decline and is opposed. Flying Enterprise can make it third time lucky this season.
