GOSHHOWPOSH went into many notebooks when runner-up on hurdling debut at Chepstow last month, sent off an unconsidered 80/1-shot but really catching the eye by the finish. With this step up in trip sure to suit, Philip Hobbs's charge may well take some stopping. Top Target finished runner-up in a bumper recently so he heads up the dangers on hurdles bow, with previous-winner Curley Finger and Howaya Now another couple worth considering.
