Midnight Macarena has been chasing with some success and last ran over hurdles over this track and trip in May where she scored by 19l after making all. She fell on her latest start and should get a nice confidence booster here though SEGO SUCCESS looks the one to be on. Alan King's winning point-to-pointer was travelling nicely when brought down on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon and looks a nice prospect. Royal Native also fell on his latest outing, over hurdles at Exeter, but he'd won in very good style there previously and looks a major threat despite a penalty. Master Rajeem is another to seriously consider as the dual bumper winner was only beaten a length by Gallery Exhibition over a shorter trip at Ludlow where he was staying on at the finish. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Ziggie fell when looking the likely winner at Perth in June and made several mistakes on a return visit the following month.
