LIONS PEAK (5) filled a minor prize two back in a maiden hurdle (3050m) at Wincanton then progressed nicely last time to win by 8 lengths in a maiden hurdle (3050m) at Wincanton. Can add to the recent impressive results. THANK YOU BLUE (4) failed to finish two starts back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Huntingdon then turned things around last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a hurdle (4090m) at Southwell. In the mix again. PROLIFIC PROFILE (3) returns from a 122-day spell. Kicked off the last campaign impressively, scoring in a hurdle at Bangor-On-Dee over 3300m. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from 11 appearances. This looks a nice race to kick off. ROYAL WAY (2) has not been a factor of late. Last time out he could only manage seventh in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. That came after he failed to complete the course in a hurdle (4000m) at Fakenham.
