THE CUNNING FOX (3) is a talented jumper who has been in rare form of late. Lines up for the hat-trick. Saluted in a hurdle (2m) at Pakenham two runs back then again got the job done last time (2m1f) at Sandown-Lakeside, winning with 12 lengths in hand. Ideally placed to continue the purple patch of form. POINT NEPEAN (6) is a talented jumper in form. Finished second last time out (2m1f) at Sandown-Lakeside after he saluted (2m) at Pakenham the run before. Big threat in this suitable race. RIGHT NOW (2) impressive winner in a hurdle (2m1 1/2f) at Pakenham two runs ago then wasn't in the hunt when sixth more recently in the Grand National Hurdle hurdle (2m5f) at Sandown-Lakeside. Should be thereabouts. FREDDY THE EAGLE (4) impressive winner in a hurdle (2m1 1/2f) at Casterton in a then wasn't nearly as effective when eighth more recently in the Grand National Hurdle hurdle (2m5f) at Sandown-Lakeside. Can make amends.
