THE BOLD THADY (3) returns from a 151-day spell. Kicked off the last prep in good style, finishing third in a novice hurdle at Wincanton over 4900m. Can add to the strong first-up stats. DOCTOR MIDAS (5) recorded a solid third 26 days back in a hurdle (4300m) at Fontwell Park. That result followed another minor placing in a maiden hurdle (4800m) at this track the run before. Certainly worth including. THANKYOURLUCKYSTAR (6) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Did a better job last time when he finished third in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Capable of a another forward showing. GASMANI (7) returns from a 163-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a hurdle (4020m) at Carlisle, beaten 3.5 lengths. Sure to be competitive.
