Verdict
The Toojumpa won a lower grade contest at Bangor a week ago and has been raised 10lb. Trixster has returned to action in good form and won a maiden hurdle at Warwick before finishing second at Southwell. He'll figure if handling today's going but Bill And Barn had shown little over timber before winning this for Paul Nicholls last year and the latter runs EASYRUN DE VASSY, who is expected to improve on last month's fifth here on his hurdling bow. Ballyart had a tough task at Cheltenham last time and could go well while Full Tilt debuts under Rules having won a point-to-point in Ireland back in April when beating a couple of subsequent winners over hurdles.
