Credo Star completed a double last spring and has come up against strong opposition subsequently, though she has a double penalty to contend with. Lindenhurst looked like being a smart hurdler a couple of years ago but hasn't been in the best of form in his most recent starts while Champagne James had been chasing before a moderate effort over hurdles at Haydock. Prickly hasn't been performing badly but takes a step up in class so this can go to PIVOT BRIDGE. He hasn't won over hurdles since beating The Game Changer at Killarney in 2014 but has been busy on the Flat and is happy on this sort of ground.
