The feature race on the card can go the way of STRONG LEADER (1) who won this event last year. Recorded a strong second last season in the 3m1f G1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree before returning with a neck success in the 3m G2 West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby four weeks ago. Top pick. IMPOSE TOI (6) posted two excellent efforts in competitive handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals last campaign. Scored by 3. 25L a lower level 3m1f handicap hurdle three weeks ago at Aintree. Makes appeal. TAKE NO CHANCES (7) finished a close runner-up behind the top selection at Wetherby. Might feature. Winning a G1 chase HEWICK (5) found success in a 2m7f hurdle at Thurles (Ireland) two runs ago. Interesting.
