Plenty of these with it all to prove seemingly. EUR GONE WEST finished fourth over C&D in October on first start over hurdles and having undergone a wind op. Any improvement now will surely see David Pipe's charge going close. Kitikat has around 8L to find with the selection on that form and is deemed likely to be on the premises while From The Heart is another to consider having shaped with some promise at Bangor in a better race last time. Hurdles debutant Esprit De Large is worth a second glance in the betting for trainer Evan Williams.
