ALTO ALTO (2) returned from a spell last start successfully in a steeplechase (3400m) at Plumpton with today's rider Freddie Gordon steering. Generally goes well at this stage of the prep. Strips fitter and is again a top chance. DENEMETHY (1) did a reasonable job when he finished third in a steeplechase (3850m) at Exeter two runs back. Held that form last time when 2.25 lengths away in second in a steeplechase (3200m) at Leicester. Must be a chance again. HOMME D'UN SOIR (3) returns from a 68-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fifth in a hurdle (3740m) at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Sure to acquit himself well. RUMOURSAREFLYING (5) remains a maiden after 14 career runs but did well at the most recent appearance to finish third in a steeplechase (3300m) at Huntingdon. Had plenty of chances but can feature with the right run.
