Falco Des Pins (G)
FAV
Offered little in 4 hurdle starts upon joining present stable last season but stepped up with each outing this time around, capitalising on a falling mark in 8-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (2m) 16 days ago. Had bit to spare then and sho…

Lucky Lugger (G)
[PT]
Opened his account off 9 lb higher mark at Uttoxeter 13 months ago. Largely out of sorts thereafter but stopped the slide to some extent when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Now his task is to build on that effort.

[T]
Low mileage 9-y-o who matched pick of his hurdles form on first try in this sphere when fourth in 8-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago. However, he will need to take a step forward if he's to play a prominent role here.

[B]
Sole success to date came over C&D 13 months ago and posted best effort since attempting for back-to-back successes in that race when runner-up 22 days ago. Blinkers worn then retained here and a repeat should see him very competitive agai…
