ASCENDING LARK (1) is a fine jumper who has been untouchable in recent runs. Is unbeaten this campaign, scoring in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle first up then franking that form last time when she got the job done by 2.5 lengths in a hurdle (3300m) at Exeter. Racing in great heart and is the one they have to overcome. PLANTAROMA (3) has experienced lluctuating luck of late. Two starts back found a couple better in a hurdle (3200m) at Kempton Park. Things fell apart last start when she fell in a hurdle (3940m) at Huntingdon. Must be given another chance. NOT NOW NATHANIEL (2) returns from a 106-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing eighth in a hurdle (3200m) at this track, beaten 21 lengths. More than capable jumper. Sure to be competitive.
