RACE TO BASE (2) produced a career best on final attempt last season when 3.25L second in the 3200m Novices Championship Final Handicap Hurdle at Sandown. Enjoys quick ground and ticks plenty of boxes. FILIBUSTERING (1) is a four-time hurdle winner including on three occasions this year. Proven in a higher grade having posted a 7.5L third over 3200m at Perth two runs back. Bold showing is expected. KLITSCHKO (3) was an easy class four winner at Sedgefield during March and placed 6.5L second in this level at that track tackling 3400m two weeks ago. Makes appeal. BANDERAS (4) represents winning connections of this race last year. Could fill fourth spot.
