The sharp nature of the track at Huntingdon clearly didn't suit VORAMAR TWO last time and, after making mistakes throughout, he finished tailed off behind Master Of The Hall. He's better judged on an unlucky second to the progressive Silver Kate over this C&D earlier and is fancied to get his head in front today. Aldertune appeared to run out of stamina over 3m2f at Hereford last month, though that was his first start of the season and his debut over the larger obstacles. This will also be a real slog, however, which must be a worry. Neil Harvey will be all the better for his third at Towcester but Mr Bennett hasn't shown a lot over hurdles since returning from injury. Mr Prudent, pulled up at Towcester last time, also has a bit to prove now.
