TARA ITI (4) did a reasonable job when he finished third in a hurdle (3900m) at Huntingdon two runs back. Franked that form when just 5.5 lengths away in second last time out in a hurdle (3380m) at Sedgefield. Can add to the recent impressive results. ARENAS DEL TIEMPO (8) missed the placings two back in a flat event at Wolverhampton then appreciated the return to jumps racing when second in a hurdle (3200m) at Fakenham last start. Certainly worth another chance in this suitable contest. HARDY BUCK (3) resumed after a spell last start with a strong second in a hurdle (3740m) at Market Rasen. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Alexander Gibbons yard. Back in good order and looks likely to feature. JOHN BETJEMAN (6) could only manage to finish sixth 12 days back in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. That result followed a solid second in a hurdle (3050m) at Wincanton two starts ago. Deserves another chance.
