Course and distance winner TAPLEY (2) was second in the prestigious Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock during May. Competes from a lower mark and won when fresh in the past. Good credentials. DAVIDOC (5) followed easy course and distance maiden hurdle success with a second at Warwick. Obvious appeal. FOR PLEASURE (1) won his first two starts after joining the Olly Murphy stable. Mixed returns under both codes since. Recently had wind surgery. Consider. JUNKANOO (3) secured course and distance win in January. Fighting fit after two runs last month (one flat and one hurdles). Dangerous to underestimate.
