DIRTY DEN (10) did not run badly from 4lb out of the weights when fourth in a stronger course and distance handicap hurdle a month ago. He finished second in a Listed jumpers flat event this time last year and could be worth chancing off this mark in an open-looking handicap. ST LUKES CHELSEA (11) ran well when second in a juvenile hurdle at Fontwell during December. Respect on handicap debut. STRONG BELLE (3) shaped better than the bare result when fifth in a Class Three handicap hurdle at Newbury. Cannot be dismissed back down in grade. Previous course and distance winner ODIN'S QUEST (8) requires a market check on reappearance.
