JUST OOT (3) did well to finish third two back in a hurdle (3250m) at Hexham then missed the frame last time but wasn't disgraced in a hurdle (3250m) at Hexham, 3 lengths behind the winner. Major player on his best form. BLAZING COURT (2) returned from a spell last start with a solid third in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle with today's rider Mr John Dixon aboard. Sure to be right there again. LUCKY MANIFEST (4) was returning from a layoff last start when he was eased out of the race in a hurdle (3500m) at Musselburgh. That run was the first for the J P L Ewart stable. Likely to feature if on his best behaviour. HE'S A DIAMOND (1) won two back in a hurdle (4100m) at Market Rasen then was below par last time when he finished sixth in a hurdle (3900m) at Carlisle, beaten 39 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
