ZAIN NIGHTS (4) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, saluting by 4.5 lengths in a hurdle (4800m) at Newbury. Boasts strong second-up stats and looks perfectly placed to add to his record. Fitter and will be tough to beat. DASHEL DRASHER (1) returns after a layoff of two months. Opened last campaign with a solid third in a at Ascot, beaten 4 lengths. Overall first-up record reads well, with two wins and six placings from eight runs. Sure to make his presence felt. MR HOPE STREET (8) returns after four months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid second in a 4000m hurdle at Carlisle, beaten half a length. Reliable jumper with two victories to his name from 12 starts. Has ability and worth including. SAMUEL SPADE (3) scored two back in a hurdle (4720m) at Ascot then couldn't repeat the dose last time but wasn't disgraced when he finished fifth in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
