HAWTHORN STREET advanced his form when making his third start over hurdles a winning one at Catterick a month ago. The second that day would have paid a handsome compliment to that form had he stood up at Haydock last time and there's a good case for him from a handicapping perspective. Libre de Choeur and Tiger Orchid head the dangers.
