LEECH (4) was eased out of the race in a hurdle (4000m) at Sandown Park two starts back. Bounced back last time when he found a couple better, beaten 14 lengths, in a hurdle (4000m) at this track. Major player again. ESTATE PLANNING (5) in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick two starts back. Bounced back last time when he found a couple better, beaten 16 lengths, in a hurdle (3300m) at Newbury. Will thereabouts once more. MOUNT WASHINGTON (7) did very little when he finished fourth in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell last time out, following on from a win in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton. Worth another chance. WASTHATOK (3) was unplaced two starts ago in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton then produced a better result last time when he finished sixth, beaten 12 lengths, in a hurdle (3200m) at Ludlow. Worth serious consideration.
