Hard to look beyond two or three of this field for the winner with the Uttoxeter second on his hurdling debut Captain Blackpearl now a non-runner. ASK HIMSELF has come agonisingly close to opening his account on both his hurdles starts and this looks a good chance for him to go one better. Irish point-to-point winner Heartbreak Kid is capable of an awful lot more than he showed on his disappointing Bangor debut and looks the main danger Elf De Re gave some hope for the future when third over C&D last time but would need to show some real further progress to take this although he should slip into the minor placing.
