BUCKLED was a wide-margin winner on his last outing over fences and makes the most appeal having made a creditable return over hurdles at Perth. Go Hard Or Go Home was let down by his jumping at Southwell but was a good winner at Hereford prior to that and is worth another chance, while West To Crossgales was clear of the rest when a close second at Uttoxeter so needs considering, too.
