That's Racing showed improved form dropped back to 2m2f at Kelso last time but may not be as effective over today's longer trip and preference is for Joe Brown, who gets the vote ahead of Spectested. The last mentioned is lightly raced over hurdles and showed signs of promise over hurdles for the first time here last month so could be of interest off what looks a fair mark. Iron Warrior looks exposed but cannot be discounted given that he hails from George Moore's yard, while Avanti Tiger has a decent racing weight. Network Oscar had little chance behind the useful Lennon last time and could be interest, particularly if the market speaks in his favour but the vote goes to Joe Brown. Heather Dalton's gelding has been highly treid in three starts in novice hurdles so far but has a decent handicap mark for his debut in a handicap and, with his stable in good form again now, he gets the vote.
