Formscan  - Having only had five runs over hurdles so far, HIDDEN HEROICS comes into this relatively unexposed compared to some of his rivals and has looked a smart prospect since having a wind operation in December. Willaston was narrowly denied on his first start for Mark Walford but made no mistake when scoring at Hexham last month and this longer trip holds no fears. Thirtyfourstitches had a fine time of it last season winning on no fewer than five occasions and has won when fresh in the past.
