MONTY BODKIN (5) returned from a spell last start and came to grief in a maiden hurdle (4100m) at Huntingdon. Key runner who is expected to feature. JOINING FORCE (3) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (4140m) at this track, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Liam Harrison. Can feature again after that bright return. PRESENTING MILAN (7) tackles the jumps for the first time. Last raced when he finished sixth in a over 3100m at Ascot on December 20. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of his career. AWAY FOR THE NIGHT (1) was unplaced two starts ago in a maiden hurdle (3050m) at Wincanton then produced a better result last start when he finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths, in a maiden hurdle (4140m) at this track. Deserves another chance.
