MASKED MAN (5) impressed making a winning hurdle debut at Chepstow forty three days ago. Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies opt to send him up in class and there could be plenty more to come from the point-to-point-winning son of Masked Marvel who can remain unbeaten. Hurdling experience STICKTOTHEPLAN (1) possesses will stand him in good stead. Trained by Olly Murphy and commands the utmost respect following a smooth win in the G2 Persian War Novice's Hurdle at Chepstow. DOUBLE MEASURE (3) encountered a useful performer when second on his hurdling debut. May take a step forward. DIAMOND HUNTER (2) rounds out the shortlist.
