HURST HILL was right back to his best when getting off the mark at Newton Abbot earlier this month. That looks solid form for the grade and she appeals most stepping back up in trip. Ocean Legacy has a good record over hurdles for current connections and could be dangerous if getting her own way in front, while it could be interesting if any support comes for Inspector Lynley back off the same mark as when winning here last season.
