Formscan - MARDOOF ran a race full of promise when finishing third on his second start over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month and looks the one to beat if running to a similar level in this contest. Mullinaree is entitled to improve for his hurdling debut when placing at Newcastle in November and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Celtic Art, who proved a useful sort on the Flat and it is too early to be writing him off in this sphere.
