MY FRIEND SEAN (1) did fairly well when he finished third in a hurdle (3200m) at Lingfield two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 3.5 lengths last time out in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. Tough to stop again. UGO BINGO (4) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3500m) at Fontwell Park, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Brendan Powell. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Joe Tizzard stable. Can feature again after that bright return. OFFICER OF STATE (3) missed the placings in a hurdle (4000m) at Windsor two back then did a better job to finish second in a hurdle (3560m) at Fontwell Park last time out. Expecting a bold run. LUNA EFFECT (5) last raced when third on the flat over 2010m at Brighton on 12/04/2025, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will be hard to beat.
