EVERYONESGAME (1) was returning from a layoff last start when he parted ways with the rider in a steeplechase (3600m) at Kempton Park. Reliable jumper with four wins and five minor placings from 16 starts over the obstacles. Key runner who is expected to feature. THE GYPSY DAVEY (2) did fairly well when he finished third in a steeplechase (4000m) at Ludlow two runs back. Less effective last time when 29 lengths away in fourth in a steeplechase (3200m) at Chepstow. In the mix on his best form. RED HUGH (4) returns from a 225-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing seventh in a hurdle (4600m) at Worcester, beaten 21 lengths. Already a winner over the obstacles. Anticipating a bright start to the campaign.
