Though 0-7 over hurdles, BLOORIEDOTCOM has run well on a few occasions including when third last time at Kelso in a better race than this. Missesgeejay placed at Stratford and Uttoxeter in the autumn and may make the frame again. Sunhill Lad has placed on the all-weather since last racing over timber and a case can also be made for Wise Coco if you ignore last month’s run at Leicester.
