PYFFO (1) brings strong form with a 1.75L success in a 2m6f novices hurdle at Fontwell preceding a 0.5L victory tackling a higher graded 2m7f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. Leading contender. CLARAROSE (13) represents a top yard. The mare showed ability at Uttoxeter when a decent fourth among easier company. Can build on that effort. Makes for appeal. BELVEDERE BLAST (8) found success by 0.5L at Hexham attempting a similar distance in a lower level handicap hurdle. This two-time course winner ticks plenty of boxes. Might go close. HAPPY BOY (12) placed second over 2m2f at Fontwell in May. Rates next best.
