JERIKO DU REPONET (2) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a hurdle (4620m) at Exeter then last start kept the ball rolling when second in a hurdle (4810m) at Cheltenham 23 days ago. Major player again. CATCH HIM DERRY (19) has been going well. Scored in a hurdle (4620m) at Exeter two starts back then finished third last time, beaten 4.5 lengths, in a hurdle (4810m) at Cheltenham. Big threat in this suitable race. ACT OF AUTHORITY (4) did a good job to finish third two back in a hurdle (4200m) at Warwick then ran a nice race last time found one better in a hurdle (4100m) at Cheltenham 22 days ago, 4.5 lengths behind the winner. Hard to knock the recent efforts. TIMMY TUESDAY (12) registered a big win 19 days back in a novice hurdle (4000m) at Down Royal. That result came as no surprise after a solid third in a hurdle (3710m) at Exeter the run before. Hard to knock the recent efforts.
