This looks like a decent opportunity for ETERNAL ANGEL (1) to get off the mark. The Nicky Henderson-trained contender has run well in all three outings to date. Likely to appreciate dropping back in trip after finishing third in a novices hurdle at Doncaster during December. The Olly Murphy trained stable debutant SOUTH OMO ZONE (6) won a Hereford jumpers flat race just over a year ago. Interesting on hurdling debut. The class-dropping I'D GO MANIAC (4) will find this easier than when a well-held fourth on his first hurdle start at Wetherby (2m) during November. GORE POINT (2) could find the frame.
