Fait Le Jojo was a consistent yet frustrating sort over the hurdles but if he has handled the transition to the larger obstacles, he looks the one to beat. Comex Flyer hails from a yard in form and although he was rated inferior to Philip Hobbs' charge over hurdles, he is given the Teamtalk nod to take this contest. Robbie McNally is very much the hidden jewel among the conditional riders and this should serve to boost the young Irishman's confidence. Pertino took a weak event at Hexham and could be the one to mop up if there are any problems with the market principals.
