Great Fighter will be all the rage having scored so convincingly at Ayr last week. The visor worked then but his profile suggests he may not be one to rely on at short odds to repeat the feat. At the foot of the handicap ALDEBURGH and Mountain Kingdom can claim to be well handicapped in this. The latter appears to have been primed for this with three runs that have shown signs of progression. The Irish challenger has gone well around here before and providing there is little give in the ground he should give a good account. ALDEBURGH has little mileage on the clock over hurdles, but his one good run over timber came on the only occasion he got his required ground. His mark has tumbled as a result. Having advertised his wellbeing on the Flat recently he looks a likely type to justify support at attractive odds.
