Verdict

Hawdyerwheesht remains 10lb higher than when scoring over timber at Worcester in July while Cousin Khee returns to hurdling for the first time since 2012. Fit from the Flat, the latter can get involved but DON PADEJA (NAP) is preferred. Jonjo O'Neill's charge finished runner-up to Stand To Reason in a higher grade contest over these obstacles in July and Patrick Cowley's 7lb allowance could give him the edge in this. July's Uttoxeter winner Alwaystheoptimist is not without a chance and Shout It Aloud is another to consider off his current mark.
