GAUCHER (1) landed a pair of G3 novice hurdles last season (including over course and distance). Solid runs in defeat past two attempts and Paul Townend rides. Good claims. Stable companion WINTER FOG (2) won this race last year. Acquitted himself well among G1 company for much of last term and rates a major player at this level. PUTURHANDSTOGETHER (11) impressed winning the Fred Winter by 6L at Cheltenham in March. Limitations exposed in a G1 at Aintree subsequently. Could prove a potent threat here. JESSE EVANS (9) underwhelmed at Royal Ascot. Previous 12L Ballinrobe hurdle win puts him in the mix.
