All eyes here will be on GET IN THE QUEUE, who hasn’t raced since March of last year when completing a hat-trick in bumpers but looks a very smart prospect. The Cob placed here and at Warwick earlier in the year and should make the frame again. Not beaten far on his hurdling debut in 2018, Peachey was badly hampered when falling at the first at Stratford and Pounding Poet was second in a bumper here in August. Grain De Thaix can only improve on his debut here at the start of the month.
