BOBBY SOCKS (10) returns from a spell of three months. Generally goes well when fresh, with a win and three minor placings from five first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with a solid third in a hurdle over 3100m at Leicester. Can return in winning form. BREAD AND BUTTER (5) has been performing well of late. Saluted two starts back in a hurdle (4140m) at Huntingdon then was in the money again last time, beaten 6 lengths into third in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Right in the mix. WHATSUPWITHYOU (1) was in the placings three back but has missed the placings subsequently, the latest result a tenth in a hurdle (4300m) at Ascot. Deserves another chance. SHARED (3) returns from a 91-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton, beaten 7 lengths. Ideally placed to perform well.
