Full has been a real disappointment but Contented has to be worth a second look as the hurdles winner is fit from the Flat. HILLARY VIEW returned from a break to make an impressive winning debut over fences over a longer trip here last month. He’s been raised a massive 14lb and could do with some rain but still looks the one to beat. G'day Aussie is also one from one over fences and wasn’t disgraced back over hurdles last time, though will have stamina to prove. Ambre Des Marais was in great form over hurdles around this time last year and will be all the better for a pipe-opener at Bangor so should go close if taking to chasing.
