SPUTNIK (3) placed on past three outings prior to a spell. Makes seasonal reappearance following a four month absence and rates well based on hurdling form. A PLACE APART (7) returned with a good second over course and distance before finishing fourth at Uttoxeter. Enjoys these conditions. May go close. THUNDER IN MILAN (5) returns after a five month break. Brings steeplechasing experience and can sneak into the frame. ATTITASH (2) holds each way claims based on a Downpatrick fifth.
