OFFICER OF STATE (7) was a touch below par when fourth in a stronger handicap hurdle at Lingfield during December. The Gary and Josh Moore stable does well at this venue and he can bounce back to score having finished a good second at Southwell prior. Stepping up in trip might suit handicap newcomer SEEK HIM THERE (8) who stayed on well to finish second at Southwell last month. KAZONTHERAZZ (9) was a decent third in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time. Likely to feature if building on that. INFERNO SACREE (5) is also considered.
