ILITCH (2) finished fourth two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3170m) at Huntingdon. Did a better job last time when he grabbed second in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick. Set to continue the upward trend. COPPER COVE (3) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Lingfield. Found the frame last start in a much better performance in a hurdle (3830m) at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely to play a major role. UGO BINGO (8) resumes today for a new stable. Hasn't raced since finishing fourth in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Ideally placed to perform well. ROI DE BAVIERE (9) did a reasonable job when he finished third in a hurdle (3560m) at this track two runs back. Less effective last time when 19 lengths away in sixth in a hurdle (3200m) at Lingfield. Hard to leave out.
