PRAGNELL (6) is a accomplished jumper who was unplaced in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby two starts back. Improved last start when he grabbed second in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Major player again. GAELIC RAMBLER (2) returned from a spell last start with a solid third in a maiden hurdle (4700m) at this track with today's rider Jonjo O'Neill Jr aboard. That run was the first for the Jonjo & A J O'Neill stable. Sure to be right there again. JAKAR DU MOULIN (5) returns after four months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid second in a 4100m maiden hurdle at Leicester, beaten 13 lengths. Presents a serious threat. DEEP PURPLE (1) was most recently at the races six months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow, beaten 8 lengths. Genuine contender in this line-up.
