BELLS OF UFFORD (1) was unplaced two back in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Turned things around last time to grab second, beaten 1.75 lengths, in a hurdle (3900m) at Chepstow. Set to continue the upward trend. JAXONNE (7) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a hurdle (4000m) at Wincanton. Can feature again after that bright return. STROLLING ALONG (6) was unplaced two starts ago in a hurdle (3950m) at Wetherby then produced a better result last start when he wound up in seventh, beaten 31 lengths, in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Exeter. No surprise to see him back in form. KLAPTON BOY (3) returns after a spell of two months. Opened the last campaign with a sound third in a 3950m hurdle at Wetherby, beaten 8 lengths. Yet to miss a top-three finish from three first-up runs. Can play a role in the finish.
