Flycorn has a lengthy absence to overcome but is worth a market check.Northside Prince also returns from a break and is still a maiden but he has shown promise over timber and could easily play a part. Master Of The Hall ran well over fences at Market Rasen last month and is also effective over hurdles but we'll take a chance on the fitness of CLUES AND ARROWS. He improved in leaps and bounds last year when given a stamina test and John Wade is likely to have him ready for this. Silk Hall is tried in a visor instead of his usual blinkers and should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of runs.
