Set Weights IFT HAWK (8) provided a smooth performance scoring on hurdling debut at this venue. Held excuses when beaten under a penalty at Stratford last month and could do better returning to this sounder surface. Might have what it takes to make a winning handicap debut off this opening mark. Last-start course and distance runner-up STANLEY PINCOMBE (3) goes well here. Could be in the mix following a break. BERTIE WOOSTER (2) returns to handicap company after finishing second to a subsequent winner at Chepstow. Place claims go the way of LIFETIME LEGEND (9).
