KEEP KICKING has a very good record over this sort of trip on Polytrack and a 3lb rise for last month's victory at Chelmsford shouldn't prove too much of a burden so he can go in again. King Olaf is another who like's the surface though he returned to form on Tapeta last time and Underwritten won twice here last summer, though he's been well beaten over hurdles recently. Shadarpour looked a potentially decent hurdler when scoring twice last year but didn't run well here last month while Guards Chapel isn't the most consistent, though he'd have a chance on his comfortable victory here last month when he had Takeitfromalady behind. This will be Feb Thirtyfirst's fourth run in three weeks and he looked to be coming to the end of his tether at Kempton last week, though he's still reasonably treated.
