PRUDHOMME won a bumper here in April and returned to action with a victory at Uttoxeter on his hurdling debut. Nick Williams’ charge is the one to beat in this despite carrying a penalty with the main threat possibly coming from stablemate and hurdling newcomer Le Cameleon. Bumper winner Holly James never figured on his hurdling bow and Madera Mist has been well beaten in both starts over timber while stablemate Full Of Roque has his first start over obstacles.
