QUICK DRAW looks the way to go here given he showed promise when placed on both his hurdling starts in the autumn and could take a step forward now going handicapping up in trip after a break. In-form Aquila Sky rates a big danger with his fitness proven and Everything Now is another well worth a second look now he reverts to hurdling after a low-key start over fences.
