This won’t take much winning and Tikkapick, still in front over fences when falling last time at Plumpton, should go well reverting to hurdles. Quarryman arrives off a third at Plumpton while Norphin races off the same mark as when second in a hands and heels race here last month. CHAKISTO won over hurdles at Uttoxeter in October and has run well in a couple of subsequent starts over fences. He’s in better form at present than the majority of these.
