Verdict
Cesar Collonges reverts to hurdling having won off a similar mark over fences on Boxing Day last year while Potters Hedger has failed to figure since scoring over timber at Plumpton back in January. Maiden hurdle winner Reve represents last year’s winning yard but a chance is taken on NEVER EQUALLED on his reappearance having slid down the weights since last successful in heavy going at Ffos Las last year. Barntown, Tazka and King Cool have recent outings under their belts though all were well beaten and Ruacana debuts for a new yard having last won in 2015.
