SURREY QUEST (8) was beaten a nose in this last year. Competes from a 5lb higher mark this time. Did little wrong in three subsequent starts and capable of a big run. CHOSEN WITNESS (9) won at this meeting hurdling last season. Lacks experience after just three chase outings. Might be leniently treated. Winning this last year MACDERMOTT (5) has struggled for form recently. Receives a competitive mark as a result. Revival possible. HASTHING (11) looked to be challenging for third when falling at the last over 3m6 1/4f at Cheltenham. Unexposed and first-time cheekpieces might inspire improvement.
