HUELGOAT has won all three starts over the larger obstacles. He’s raised a further 6lb for a recent Fontwell success but is progressing at a rate of knots and has his ground once again. Certainly Red opened his account over fences with a victory at Kempton back in March though Unanswered Prayers has a recent outing over hurdles under his belt and makes his chasing bow along with the returning Git Maker and Whydah Gally.
