SONG OF THE HUNTER failed to fire in 2 chases for Tim Vaughan before Christmas but he did well over hurdles last season and might be worth chancing to make a successful return to the smaller obstacles for new trainer Harry Fry, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Stormy Flight arrives at the top of his game and is feared most ahead of Bold Plan.
