TORNEO (2) did a reasonable job when he finished third in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newcastle two runs back. Improved sharply to score a easy win by 5 lengths last time out in a steeplechase (3200m) at Chepstow. All set to continue the strong recent form. PASO DOBLE (4) returns from a 83-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton, beaten 2.25 lengths. Reliable jumper with two wins to his name from seven appearances. Has the ability to pose a serious challenge. ASTA LA PASTA (1) did a reasonable job when he finished second in a steeplechase (4070m) at Musselburgh two runs back. Less effective last time when 28 lengths away in fourth in a steeplechase (3600m) at Kempton Park. Expect a return to form. FROM THE CLOUDS (3) returns from a 363-day spell. Hasn't raced since he in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle. Forget latest. Ideally placed to perform well.
