THE LONG POINT (3) finished fourth two back in a hurdle (3950m) at Hereford. Made amends last time to fill a minor placing, beaten 5.5 lengths, in a hurdle (4200m) at Kempton Park. Should run well again. NIGHT DUTY (4) missed the placings in a maiden hurdle (4060m) at Cheltenham two back then did a better job to finish second in a maiden hurdle (5100m) at Catterick last start. No surprise to see him in winner's stall. BREDON HILL (5) did well to clock-in third two back in a hurdle (4200m) at Warwick then ran a nice race last time found a couple better in a hurdle (4200m) at Kempton Park 39 days ago, 15 lengths behind the winner. Expect the good recent form will stack up. STRIKING A POSE (1) couldn't find the top three two back in a hurdle (4800m) at Taunton then again missed out in a hurdle (4720m) at Ascot last start. Worth serious consideration.
