Winner of this renewal last year THE NAVIGATOR (6) arrives in strong form with a solid 2.75L third attempting this handicap hurdle class over 2m4f at Sedgefield preceding a 4.25L victory in a higher standard 2m5f handicap hurdle at this venue. Ticks plenty of boxes. Top selection. MAGHLAAK (2) ran well on previous jumps outing during July posting a neck second contesting a higher level 2m5f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen. Shortlist returning to jumping. FOSTERED PHIL (8) found success by 1L in a lower graded 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth four weeks ago. Makes appeal. ASA (3) warrants a market check.
