Mixed record over hurdles last season but did win a small-field Kempton listed novice in October. Well held sole chase start in France in September but shaped as if needing the run that day. Stamina to prove (significantly up in trip).

Useful staying hurdler who goes well in the mud. Showed he retains most of his ability after 27 months off when fourth at Exeter in February, though he did have the run of the race. Makes chase debut.

4/1
Dual bumper winner who developed into a fair hurdler last summer. Plenty to find on hurdles form but should make a chaser (placed in a point) and not taken lightly with doubts surrounding his 2 rivals.

Forecasts

Balko Saint (11/10), Eminent Poet (6/4), Ultimate Getaway (4/1)

Verdict

Not much to choose between BALKO SAINT and Eminent Poet on hurdles form but the emphasis on speed at this trip should suit the former. Ultimate Getaway has plenty to find on hurdles form but it wouldn't be a surprise if he made his presence felt with doubts surrounding his 2 rivals.
