HOUNDSWORTH impressed when making a successful handicap hurdle debut at Cork recently and a 10 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. Uptaurintop simply did too much too soon over 21f here last time and is interesting back down in trip with cheekpieces added. Wild Wild Wind and The Dancen Kid also make the shortlist.
