WICKED WILLY posted his best effort so far over timber when third in a novices’ event at Uttoxeter. He should be bang there at the finish with a similar effort. Bilbrook Blaze has failed to complete since going close at Taunton in March while Reilly's Minor was beaten a long way in third at Warwick. Bumper winner Fearless Fantasy makes her hurdling debut along with the winning pointer Huntsman Son and are both worth noting for future reference.
