Brian Hughes does well when teaming up with Charlie Longsdon so PETER'S PORTRAIT could be the way to go here. He was placed off higher marks over hurdles last term and a point win at the start of his career suggests he could fare even better over fences. Mamoo caught the eye on his chase bow and is a possible threat, particularly if the betting speaks for him. Speak of The Devil is also respected.
