COQOLINO (3) was out of the money in a steeplechase (4000m) at Hexham two runs back. Comes here just four days after he made amends with a 1.5 lengths win in a steeplechase (3460m) at this track. Tough to stop again. GREAT PEPPER (2) returns from a 114-day spell. Generally goes well when resuming, with three wins and a placing from six first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with a third in a steeplechase over 3210m at Carlisle. One of the better hopes in the race. MILITAIRE (5) comes here off a solid second 60 days back in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter. That result came as no surprise after another minor placing in a steeplechase (4700m) at Chepstow the run before. Hard to knock the recent efforts. HURRICANE ALI (4) bounced back with a sound third in a steeplechase (3460m) at this track just four days back following an unplaced effort in a hurdle (5000m) at Carlisle. The recent form should stack up.
