SOME DAY SOON (NAP) has to concede 10lb and upwards to all rivals but impressed considerably in achieving his hat-trick and is well worth staying with until beaten. He will almost certainly set out to make all and also has won with cut in the ground should conditions soften appreciably.

Prancing Oscar has a couple of wins to his name on the level and is worth noting on hurdling debut but the remainder appear limited on the available evidence.
