ALWAYS A REASON (7) left behind five disappointing efforts to win a 2m4 1/2f handicap hurdle at Southwell by 1L twelve days ago improving from a fourth at this course the run prior. Will be thereabouts. DROP KICK (8) came out on top by a neck tackling a track and trip handicap hurdle before following up with a second at this venue a fortnight ago. Could return to winning ways. SHADOW CHASER (4) also rediscovered some good form on latest outing when runner-up at Ayr last month. May go one better. HALF TRACK (6) could bounce back after suffering an unlucky unseat in a handicap hurdle at this venue.
