Results suggest ANDIJAN is equally as ineffective over hurdles and fences; but he is back in the right grade and has a live chance of adding to his tally in a poor race like this. Noticeable and Benayoun can provide the selection with the most to think about. Benayoun has been placed four times in selling hurdles so can do his bit as a value option for the Placepot. Quite whether he is capable of winning is another matter and he looks risky for win-only purposes. Noticeable, like the selection, is very capable on his day and comes here in reasonabfle form. However, this course is unforgiving in nature and, as his previous wins have been achieved on much flatter surfaces, he needs everything to go his way. By contrast, Andijan doesn't mind an undulating surface and, as this is also a drop in class for him, it will be no surprise to see Irish trainer Jimmy Lambe mount another successful raid on British prize-money.
