Good And Hardy was engaged in the 4.40 at Warwick yesterday but would have to be of interest if turning up here. Minella Daddy hasn't run over hurdles since 2016 and isn't certain to act on the ground though he was in excellent form over fences early last year. AGE OF WISDOM (NAP) ran well when third on heavy going at Lingfield and again showed his liking for the conditions here last month when scoring with a bit in hand. He gets the nod from 5lb higher though Tambura is also a course and distance winner and is on the same mark as that victory. Puppet Warrior fell four out in the selection's race here but was in touch at the time and has gone well on the track in the past.
