COURAGEOUS STRIKE (7) decisively won a track and trip novice hurdle here in May by 4. 25L. Goes handicapping off a fair mark and top trainer will have him fit. Big chance. AMERICAN LAND (4) holds a strong course record of two wins from three starts. Last seen winning here in June attempting a class three handicap hurdle. Freshened and likely to be in the mix. BLUEGRASS (3) is four wins from seven starts wearing a tongue strap and cheek pieces. In good form and could yet improve. TAX FOR MAX (1) was set a tough task attempting a class two handicap at Market Rasen last month. Very talented and worth a glance in the betting.
