HANSARD (1) represents a notable local yard. Expected to improve on second chase attempt after fading to be fourth of five making chase debut over 3600m at Kempton nineteen days ago. Finished third in the 3200m G2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton last season. Looks hard to beat against this line-up. Stablemate TAITA HILLS (3) made the frame twice at this venue last campaign. Below par ninth in a 4200m soft ground handicap hurdle at Newbury during March however is open to plenty of progress now chasing for the first time. Holds claims. Fellow stablemate OFFICER OF STATE (2) returned to jumping gaining a 1L success contesting a 3600m handicap hurdle at Fontwell four weeks back. Might fill third spot.
