HEAR NO EVIL is still on an upward curve, despite being a beaten favourite on testing ground at Newcastle last time and the drop back in trip here could help him register a second hurdles success, despite having to concede 6lb to the field. Sonic may well have won at Musselburgh and is on the short-list here, though he does need to better than pre-fall effort. Planet Nine is another to enter calculations, while improvement from Donald McCain's other well-related runner Ballasalla can't be ruled out.
