TROPICAL SPEED (3) was pulled up in a hurdle (4600m) at Lingfield two starts back. Bounced back last time to win by 7 lengths in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Ideally placed to go back-to-back. CHAMPETRE (2) returns from a 224-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a hurdle (5200m) at Warwick, beaten 7 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. VICTOR HAZE (6) could only manage to finish seventh 20 days back in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. That result was on the back of a solid third in a hurdle (3900m) at Chepstow two starts ago. Sure to be thereabouts. HOLD YOUR FORT (1) returns from a 138-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing eighth in a steeplechase (4300m) at this track, beaten 41 lengths. More than capable jumper. Sure to be primed and expected to be prominent.
