FAITQUE DE L'ISLE (4) lines up for the hat-trick. Saluted in a steeplechase (4770m) at Ludlow two runs back then again got the job done last time in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ludlow, winning with 16 lengths in hand. In-form jumper who is clearly the one to beat. MARTALMIX'JAC (6) finished second two back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Ludlow then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten a nose, in a steeplechase (4860m) at this track. No surprise to see him in the finish again. CLOUDY WEDNESDAY (5) registered a solid third 34 days back in a steeplechase (3990m) at Huntingdon. That result followed another minor placing in a steeplechase (4000m) at Huntingdon the run before. Leading contender again. BIG BEE HIVE (3) finished fourth two runs ago in a steeplechase (5050m) at Catterick then wound up in fifth last time in a steeplechase (4900m) at this track. No surprise to see him back in form.
