KING OF THE LAKE (7) has not looked back since undergoing a second wind operation. The Jeremy Scott trained seven-year-old escapes a penalty for his wide-margin success in a conditional jockey's handicap hurdle at Newbury last time and may gain a hat-trick. There might be more to come from IMAGINARIUM (5) representing trainer Olly Murphy. Returned from three month absence making a winning handicap debut with hurdles at Huntingdon last time and warrants respect off a 7lb higher mark. CORNISH STORM (3) is consistent and cannot be ignored after a confidence-boosting victory in a Taunton maiden hurdle. THISTLE BE THE ONE (6) also makes for each-way appeal.
