VINCENZO (3) finished third attempting a G2 novices hurdle at Chepstow in October. Rates a potentially smart recruit to fences. Can go well from this mark if jumping soundly. HELNWEIN (1) was progressive over hurdles last term. Did little wrong when second at Warwick on recent chasing debut. Leading chance. TEDLEY (2) has won twice from four outings over fences. Goes well for this rider. Lacks the potential of some rivals. Not lightly dismissed. Chasing debutant THE FAMOUS FIVE (4) posted a respectable comeback at Newbury hurdling. Might do better switching to the larger obstacles.
