MILITARY TYCOON (3) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4360m) at Fontwell Park. Made amends last time to salute by half a length in a hurdle (4360m) at Fontwell Park. Hard to beat in this rich vain of form. MACH TEN (8) finished third two back in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Couldn't match that effort last time out, beaten 4 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (4000m) at Wincanton. No surprise to see him in the finish. MANALA (10) finished sixth two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Atoned for that run last time when she grabbed third in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. The recent form should stack up. EL BANDIDO PANCHO (12) was eased out of the race in a steeplechase (4000m) at Lingfield two starts back. Turned things around last time when he found one better, beaten 2.5 lengths, in a hurdle (4000m) at Ffos Las. Hard to fault on that most recent effort.
