DESPEREAUX (4) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a hurdle (5020m) at this track. Can continue the bright start to the campaign. WARRANTY (1) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (5000m) at Warwick. Finished third last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (5020m) at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Right in the mix if he is at his best. SHARED (3) did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby two runs back. Less effective last time when 9 lengths away in fourth in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster. Expect a return to form. JUBILANT (2) missed the frame two back in a hurdle (4600m) at Market Rasen. Atoned for that run last time to grab third, beaten 12 lengths, in a hurdle (4800m) at Newbury. In the mix.
