Bumper-winner COME ON GRUFF shaped well sent hurdling when third at Chepstow 4 weeks ago and may well have done even better had he not made a mistake at the second last, so he looks the most persuasive option with improvement on the cards. Hometown Hero has been off the track since a promising debut at Warwick 14 months ago, but shouldn't lack for fitness, with Kalmoor also of interest.
