There isn’t a lot of form to go on here with Flat winner Zoran finishing well beaten at Sedgefield having failed to land the odds on his hurdling bow. LUBEAT FORAS won a point in 2019 and a bumper for Richard Fahey early last year. He is returning from another absence for a new yard but obviously has ability. Goudhurst Star was very green in a bumper here in February but has far more scope than the majority of these including Huntingdon third Young William.
