Doesyourdogbite surrendered his unbeaten record in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton last month, when finishing behind Templeross, but shouldn’t be written off just yet. Oscar Hoof and Divine Spear represent last year’s winning yard and the latter ran well when third at Cheltenham while a market move for course winner Krugermac would be interesting as he receives weight all round and clearly needed the run at Sandown last month. Man Of Plenty keeps knocking on the door but the mare My Khaleesi may find her lack of experience a negative in a field this size. AIR HORSE ONE took seven attempts to get off the mark but took a further step forward with a convincing victory at Taunton and this looks to be his trip. He gets a tentative vote to complete the hat-trick in a wide-open renewal.
