ROYAL PRETENDER (3) aims for back to back victories following a 5L success at Stratford-On-Avon attempting a similar handicap hurdle. Proven at the level and hitting top form in these summer events. HARDY BOY (6) has placed three times past four outings. Only denied a nose at Uttoxeter when last seen. Steps up in trip. CHARLES ST (7) appeals from current mark. Worth considering based on a third at the track two starts ago. May place. BELLE OF ANNANDALE (9) holds each way claims having finished fourth at the course. Tackles considerably longer trip which could be interesting.
