Beyond Redemption, a winner between the flags, pulled too hard on his hurdling debut at Kempton and will need to settle better. Chez Castel Mail, a smart bumper, also took a keen hold at Ffos Las when strongly fancied and should have learned from the experience. Funambule Sivola showed potential in France and looks the type to improve while the four-year-old Land Of Winter made a bold bid to justify strong support on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and wasn't beaten far. RHOSNEIGR, three times a winner on the Flat, has held every chance at the last on his two latest efforts only to find little at the finish. He will be suited by slightly quicker going here and can get off the mark. Yaazaain is an interesting newcomer for Nigel Twiston-Davies on his first start since arriving from France.
