Volt Face was fancied on his hurdling debut at Towcester in December but dropped away tamely after making much of the running. He should be capable of better but David Pipe also runs Obistar, who only found one too good in a Ffos Las bumper last month. Anton Chigurh was second at Huntingdon in January but disappointed here next time and his stable remain largely out of sorts. Lochnagar will also certainly improve on his third at Ludlow but THE GREEN OGRE was only beaten a short-head at Kempton two runs ago before finishing third in better company at Haydock and may be ready to open his account now.
