CLEAR STORM (3) has returned in good style this preparation over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a hurdle (3400m) at Newton Abbot then was again in the money last time, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a hurdle (3400m) at Newton Abbot. Ready to find winning form. WINDOW OF TIME (4) did a reasonable job when she finished third in a hurdle (3180m) at Southwell two runs back. Held that form last time when 3.5 lengths away in second in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon. Certainly worth including. NORTHERN ROSE (6) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter with today's rider Jack Hogan steering. Back in good order and looks likely to feature. AUNTIE MAGGIE (5) scored in a hurdle (3200m) at Fakenham two runs ago then didn't back it up when beaten 6 lengths into fourth last start in a hurdle (3170m) at Ludlow. Good enough to turn things around.
