ZUCAYAN (3) registered a sound second 26 days back in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. That result followed a solid third in a hurdle (3200m) at Ludlow two starts ago. Ideally placed to take this out. GMS PRINCE (7) wasn't disgraced when third two starts back in a hurdle (4100m) at this track. Everything changed more recently when he took a tumble in a hurdle (3740m) at this track. Certainly worth another chance. IKIGAI STAR (2) returns from a layoff of four months. Added to his solid first-up record last time in work with a minor placing at Worcester in a 3200m hurdle. Can play a role in the finish. AQUITAINE BOY (5) did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (4060m) at Newcastle two runs back. Held that form last time when 4 lengths away in third in a hurdle (4030m) at Hexham. Leading contender again.
