LAC DE CONSTANCE (1) was by no means out of it when coming down at the final hurdle on return from a lengthy break at Uttoxeter during October. This represents a drop in class and assuming he is none the worse for that mishap could be up to defying top weight. Leading player. It is tough to ignore ISSAM (2) who won this off 9lb lower last season. Proved this mark was likely within range when fourth in a competitive handicap hurdle at Ffos Las two outings back. INVESTMENT MANAGER (3) never travelled over fences last time but has winning form over course and distance. Scored in commanding style in the grade below at Newbury during October. The quirky CENTARA (6) is next best.
