MAX'S CHAMP (1) returned from a spell last start with a win in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter with today's rider Benjamin MacEy piloting. Fitter and expected to go on with it. RUMBLE B (3) did well to clock-in second two back in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby. Backed that up with a sound third in a hurdle (4700m) at this track 17 days ago, beaten 2.5 lengths. Hard to fault on his recent form. TARTAN COOKIE (5) failed to complete the course in a hurdle (4800m) at Perth two starts back. Atoned for that run last time to greet the judge by 1.3 lengths in a hurdle (4700m) at this track. Expect the good recent form to stack up. POWERS DILEMMA (2) missed the placings in a hurdle (4900m) at Ayr two back then did a better job to wind-up third in a steeplechase (4840m) at this track last start. Worth including.
