Alnilam (G)
Useful hurdler who has already bettered that form over fences, following up his successful Uttoxeter chase debut with a convincing victory at Cheltenham. Made a bad mistake when pulled up in Sandown Grade 1 and can have his performance in …

Roadlesstravelled (G)
Useful form when bagging his first 3 starts over hurdles around 2m, including a Haydock Grade 2. Pulled up final 2 runs (struck into latest) and while this former point winner is the type to make a better chaser, this is a very tough start…
