SAINT ANAPOLINO (6) did a reasonable job when he finished third in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 3 lengths last time out in a maiden hurdle (3360m) at Exeter. Sure to prove hard to beat. MANUELITO (1) returns after a break of seven months. Last appeared when he failed to complete the course on his jumps debut in a hurdle (3300m) at Market Rasen. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CAMPAIGN TRAIL (9) is a useful jumper in form. Finished third last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby after he saluted in a hurdle (3300m) at Doncaster the run prior. Since the latest run he has gone over to the Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls stable. Can turn things around. BLACK HAWK EAGLE (4) finished second two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon. Couldn't match that effort last time out, beaten 34 lengths into eighth in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot. Sure to be thereabouts.
