Hajey made a satisfactory reappearance at Hexham and has place claims again in this. Barrichello has won four times over hurdles but may be warming up for another stab at chasing this term. 0Impulsive One has been chasing recently and has had wind surgery since last seen but does have form in better company. At the other end of the handicap, IMPERIAL DATA (NAP) has been making giant strides and could complete the hat-trick here after only five runs over hurdles. Gordons Aura may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Copper Beach.
