ROBBIE RABBIT (NAP) was almost carried out at Cheltenham last time so the fact that he still held every chance at the last was testament to how well he performed. He'd also gone close at Chepstow earlier and should finally get his head in front here eased in grade. Winning pointer Callmenewtown exceeded expectations on his hurdling debut and should have more to offer while Bryden Boy has been knocking on the door in this grade. Mustmeetalady and Quincy Magoo both tackle hurdles for the first time so are probably best watched.
