A small-field hurdle contest. Gordon Elliott trains HARDY STUFF (2) who has not figured so far this campaign. Did improve running 5.5L fourth in a maiden hurdle tackling 3319m at Punchestown after being pulled up fresh at Cork. Finds a suitable race and may bounce back in view of stable record at this venue. MARVEL MAGIC (3) was favourite on debut tackling the flat at Newcastle AW finishing fourth over 3400m. Might feature now switching to jumping. CAPTAIN CONNOR (1) pushed forward as a newcomer and stayed on running 8L third in a flat race attempting 3200m at Huntingdon. Impossible to discount.
