Hollywood All Star went close to ending a long losing run when runner-up in a similar contest to this at Fakenham. He finished in front of Hurricane Rita with Millen Dollar Man well beaten and can go close again. But INDIAN REEL won a claiming hurdle at Leicester last month with Stuccodor back in fourth and Fergal O’Brien’s charge is just preferred. Whispering Harry has been competing over fences but can race off a lower mark back over timber and drops in class for this.
