KILMORE ROCK (4) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (4660m) at Hexham. Did a better job last time when he scored in a hurdle (4700m) at Newcastle. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish. CRUDEN (6) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby. Found the frame last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle, beaten 3.5 lengths. Right in the mix if he is at his best. FORGED WELL (3) has not been a factor of late. Last start he was out of the money in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh. That came after he came to grief in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby. In the mix if he gets things right. HURRICANE ALI (2) returns from a 76-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing 11th in a hurdle (4780m) at Musselburgh, beaten 48 lengths. Sure to be primed and expected to be prominent.
