MATCHLESS (2) lines up for the hat-trick. Saluted in a hurdle (3200m) at this track two runs back then again got the job done last time in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell, winning with 1.5 lengths in hand. In-form gelding who is the one they have to overcome on his return to jumps racing. MY FRIEND YEATS (3) was unplaced the start before last in a hurdle (4700m) at this track. Atoned for that run last time when he saluted in a hurdle (4430m) at Cartmel. Must be a chance again. BELVEDERE BLAST (1) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4870m) at Ayr. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (4400m) at Cartmel, beaten 3.5 lengths. Expecting a bold run. ROBERT D'ORES (4) got the prize in a hurdle (4700m) at this track two starts ago then performed poorly when beaten 17 lengths into fourth most recently in a steeplechase (4800m) at this track. Can bounce back.
