ESPERTI has really got his act together over fences and still looks feasibly treated on the back of last month's Ffos Las victory. He can score again. Ronnies Reflection may provide the chief threat.

Verdict
Lightly-raced maiden who bettered previous efforts when third of 6 in handicap hurdle (15/8) at Plumpton (25f, good) 39 days ago. Goes chasing now and warrants respect.

Verdict
Resumed winning ways on final start of last term and made a positive start to this campaign when runner-up on return at Newton Abbot. Did well to come from last to first in a falsely-run race when scoring at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) latest and remains of interest nudged up 4 lb.

Off the mark over C&D in February and ran to similar level when runner-up on return here in October. Disappointed in stronger company latest but better showing expected in this company.

Made the frame without really threatening the last twice and needs more to break her duck over the larger obstacles here. Sterner headgear tried.

Dual winner over fences at Leicester last season and returned with a good second over C&D last month. Not at same level back at Leicester latest but can't be ruled out here.
