ITTACK BLUE was disappointing on his second start last term but had looked a useful prospect at Newbury previously and is taken to make a winning return. There are plenty of interesting hurdles debutants in opposition with bumper winner Choccabloc and useful Flat performer Adjuvant catching the eye most.
