DOUBLE DIGITS (1) missed the frame two back in a maiden hurdle (4060m) at Newcastle. Turned things around last time to finish second, beaten a nose, in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle. Tough to stop. KIMJOY (4) returns to racing after a decent spell. Raced just the once last campaign, scoring in a point to point (4800m) at Loughanmore P2p. One of the major hopes in the race. KABUKI (2) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 16 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (3400m) at Sedgefield. Fitter and looks likely to feature. OFF TO ALABAMA (3) returns to racing after a decent spell. Started just once last campaign, finishing sixth in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Capable type with top-three prospects.
