PRECIOUS MAN (1) rates highly on form of a 4L second in G2 at Cheltenham last time. Sets a clear standard on that effort and will be sent off prohibitive odds here down in grade. Hard to oppose with confidence. WERTPOL (4) went clear securing a 4.5L victory at Taunton on hurdle debut. Big future anticipated at this stage and is worth keeping safe. BRUCE BANNER (2) gained a 2.25L success at Musselburgh last time. Further progression possible and these conditions to suit. Winning hope. DISSIDENT (3) showed a great attitude when a neck winner at Doncaster. Takes on a better race. Hard to rule out.
