Race Tip
Fergal O'Brien won this last year and CRAMBO (4) may well ensure he does so once more. Looked progressive prior to being outclassed in the G1 Turners Mersey Novices Hurdle here when last seen in April. May bounce back returning to this suitable level. SANTOS BLUE (5) improved considerably last season. Lost nothing in defeat when third at Cheltenham seeking a hurdle four-timer back in April. The 3lbs rise in weights could prove manageable with further progress anticipated and can go well under regular conditional Ben Sutton. SONIGINO (2) made a pleasing return finishing third in the Silver Trophy (Handicap Hurdle) at Chepstow. Might take a step forward. LAC DE CONSTANCE (1) holds place claims.
