MR ESCOBAR (1) is looking to improve on a last-start tenth on the flat over 3200m at Lingfield All Weather on February 28. The testing material. WICKED THOUGHTS (6) did well to finish second two back in a maiden hurdle (5120m) at Hereford then improved sharply to register a big win in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at Ascot 22 days ago, arriving 6 lengths ahead of his rivals. No surprise to see him in the finish again. AUTHENTIC LEGACY (7) has been going well. Scored in a hurdle (3300m) at Newbury two starts back then finished second last time, beaten 6 lengths, in a hurdle (4300m) at Fontwell Park. Worth considering. EXCELERO (2) was most recently at the races three months ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a hurdle (3710m) at Exeter, getting home by half a length. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from seven appearances. Expect a bright start to his prep.
