HOBB'S DELIGHT (2) finished second two back in a steeplechase (5050m) at Catterick. Couldn't match that effort last time out, beaten 33 lengths into sixth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter. Likely to figure prominently. LEADING SWOOP (3) is a 15-start maiden who is making a habit of filling minor placings, the latest when second in a steeplechase (4340m) at this track. Best form reads well and cannot be underestimated. ELPOLOGREG (8) registered a solid third 22 days back in a steeplechase (4340m) at this track. That result followed another minor placing in a steeplechase (4340m) at this track the run before. Leading contender again. GETUPEARLY (4) returns from a 77-day spell. Kicked off the last campaign in good style, finishing runner-up in a steeplechase at this track over 5200m. Will be thereabouts at the business end.
