O Connell Street is looking a little exposed but arguably has the best hurdles form coming into this. The Bomber Liston and Grozni have both shown ability in bumpers with the latter scoring at Market Rasen last month but this stiff track will suit the stoutly-bred LANTY SLEA who has been steadily finding his feet over timber. Percussion only beat one home at Worcester but should have learned plenty from that.
