IRIS DES ISSARDS (1) missed the frame the start before last in a hurdle (4300m) at Exeter. Did a better job last time when he saluted in a hurdle (4320m) at this track. All set to continue the strong recent form. SUPREME YEATS (6) returns from a 259-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has the ability to pose a serious challenge. AL SAYAH (5) did a good job to clock-in third two back on the flat at Bath. Enjoyed getting back over the jumps last start and was again in the money in a hurdle (4300m) at Exeter, arriving one length behind the winner. Right in the mix again. CHABADATIKA (8) resumed after a spell last start with a strong second in a hurdle (4800m) at Taunton. Will strip fitter and looms large again.
