WADE OUT (16) defied a big penalty in a novices hurdle at Wetherby and could be suited by this track on handicap debut trained by Olly Murphy. It would be foolish to ignore KOPECK DE MEE (9) despite his disappointing debutante effort at Cheltenham last month. Looked progressive winning in France prior and can easily rediscover best for Willie Mullins. Nicky Henderson trains IMPOSE TOI (2) who posted an excellent effort when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces tackling a valuable handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last month. Consider once more. STEEL ALLY (3) might go well on the back of his second-place finish in the G2 National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell. BE AWARE (8) remains of interest eased slightly in trip maintaining an unexposed profile.
