HYMAC impressed with his jumping when beating a big field here in the spring and has returned in good form having picked up a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last month. He remains unexposed so could be the answer despite being 3 lb out of the handicap. Abuffalosoldier made a promising comeback at Exeter so is a must for the shortlist, with Scottish National runner-up Surrey Quest another to consider.
