Free To Air ran no sort of race in his hat-trick bid at Newton Abbot and must be worth taking on here off a 3lb higher mark. MURRELL hasn't shown a great deal since finishing second on his hurdling debut at Stratford in October but has one of the more accomplished lady amateurs on board here in Lucy Horner and might represent a bit of value in this if returning to his best. Isabel Tompsett's mount Wotchalike was pulled up at Hexham 12 days ago but is another nicely treated on previous efforts while it would be no surprise to see February's Taunton winner Body Gold go close despite a few disappointing runs of late. Hippodrome has had a short break but could be best of the rest.
