Tony Martin might hold the key to this. ZANNDABAD should have plenty of scope from this opening handicap hurdle mark judged on his Flat ability and gets the nod, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Stablemate Read To Return caught the eye of the stewards in an amateur riders' chase at Cheltenham last month and is feared back hurdling under professional handling. Hunting Brook and Como Park, both last-time-out winners for top yards, complete the shortlist.
