There doesn’t look to be a major amount of strength in depth in this with the connections of ALLART looking to have found an excellent opportunity for him to build on his Ludlow win under a penalty; he still holds entries at Cheltenham in the Supreme and Ballymore. Youracert opened his hurdles account at Market Rasen last summer having had prior wind surgery he now has a significant absence to deal with but could slide into a place given the paucity of the opposition outside of the selection. Red Nika comes from a stable that do well with his sort and despite disappointing last time he looks the main threat. Bear Spray, Sadlermor and Annebelle are a trio worth noting for the future.
