Testing conditions are likely so check for horses who excel on soft and heavy ground and stay well. TOP OF THE BILL (1) bids for a hat-trick following an impressive pair of course and distance victories. Enjoys this venue and rates a top chance. HURRICANE HIGHWAY (2) showed plenty of ability behind the main selection tackling track and trip when 7.5L second among this company three weeks ago. Main danger again. SPORTING ACE (4) placed second hurdling at this meeting last year. Enjoys staying distances and soft going. Finished runner-up at Uttoxeter last month and holds every chance. PIMLICO POINT (3) was a good second here two outings back attempting the journey and grade. Not to be discounted against this small field.
