OFFICER OF STATE (1) sauntered clear for a wide-margin victory in a novices handicap hurdle at Fontwell a week ago. Impossible to oppose with a Rob Hargreaves claim negating the mandatory penalty. LASER FOCUS (2) won nicely a Class Five handicap hurdling at Huntingdon earlier in the week and appears the main threat turned out quickly off the same mark. ZORAN (4) was tailed off on the level at Goodwood last time. Warrants a second look revisiting hurdles. MARTALITE (5) could make the frame.
