TOAD HALL (6) has returned in great style this preparation. Filled a minor placing when resuming in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at Punchestown then got the job done last time by 10 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4400m) at Downpatrick. All set to continue the strong recent form. DR EGGMAN (4) opened the campaign with a respectable second in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Punchestown then last start scored in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Limerick by 1.5 lengths. Cannot be left out. JAX JUNIOR (1) wasn't disgraced when third two runs back in a LR (3900m) at Huntingdon. Big change in fortune more recently when he failed to complete the course in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle (4800m) at this track. Use the good effort two runs ago as a guide. PLEASINGTON (3) is looking to improve on a last-start seventh in the G3 Kingsfurze Novice Hurdle (3200m) at Naas on March 9. Looms as a serious contender.
