LELANT has returned in top form and looks capable of completing the hat-trick. Footloose Man enhanced his good record here 3 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Diamond Days, who offered something to work on starting out in this sphere at Lingfield.

Verdict
Having dropped a long way in the weights, justified support when finally getting off the mark at Hereford on return and stepped up again when following up at Market Rasen. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Maiden hurdler who made decent start over fences when close fourth of 5 at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Entitled to build on that with extra distance sure to suit.

Verdict
Low-mileage maiden who has been running well over hurdles this season, including when third from out of the weights at Lingfield 4 weeks ago. However, bit to prove back over fences (no show in 3 starts).

Both chase victories have come at this C&D, including 3 weeks ago. Had nothing to spare that day but still considered given course record. Cheekpieces back on.

Maiden hurdler who showed similar form to be placed first 3 starts over fences this season. Poor effort at Exeter since, however, and needs to bounce back. Headgear on.
