GENERAL OFFICER (1) ran well two outings back at Musselburgh finishing 4.75L second in a higher level 2m novices hurdle during February. Plenty of good hurdling form last season and rates highly on chase debut. FENNA'S LOSS (4) showed ability here last month when 0.5L second tackling a 2 ⁷⁄₁₆m handicap hurdle. Respect. CHAPEL GREEN (3) makes for appeal following a runner-up effort in March on heavy ground at Newcastle attempting a 2 ¹⁄₁₆m novices hurdle. Holds claims making first chase outing with further progress likely. HORN CAPE (6) placed second contesting a 2m handicap hurdle at this venue and may feature.
