French runner KLOTH OF UTOPIA (1) confirmed his promise scoring by an impressive 12L in a 2m2f heavy ground hurdle at Auteuil (France). Top chance. EXCELLO (6) showed plenty of ability in France before recording a 4.25L third attempting this race last year. Finds good opportunity on seasonal and hurdle return. Makes for appeal. SILVER THORN (2) was off the mark at the third attempt by 3.75L contesting a 2m6f heavy going maiden hurdle at Stratford. Might feature. TOUQUET (3) represents the winning combination from last year. Caught the eye posting a 7L victory in a Plumpton 2m novices hurdle. Not to be discounted.
