BUCKO'S BOY (3) returns from a break of nine months. Generally goes well when fresh, with three wins and a placing from eight first-up runs. Kicked off last prep successfully in a Worcester hurdle over 4600m. Sure to prove tough to stop. WA WA (6) was unplaced the start before last in a hurdle (4700m) at Fakenham. Atoned for that run last time when he saluted in a hurdle (5330m) at Perth. Will thereabouts once more. FARNOGE (5) was most recently at the races five months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4020m) at Leicester, beaten 103 lengths. Genuine jumper with three wins to his name from nine starts. Sure to be about the mark. WEST TO THE BRIDGE (4) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4000m) at this track with today's rider Miss Heidi Palin piloting. Will strip fitter and looms large.
