There could be further progress from CAME FROM NOWHERE (5) who always looked to be doing enough to score at Hereford. Jeremy Scott trains this unexposed hurdler now up 8lb for that success. May replicate the feat. SURREY LORD (9) also continues to head in the right direction having won three of his last four outings. Managed to keep on and win nicely at Kempton Boxing Day and can remain competitive up in level. Previous course and distance winner FAIVOIR (2) struggled here four weeks ago. Would hold major claims on form of his third-place finish in a competitive handicap hurdle at Cheltenham prior. TRIPOLI FLYER (1) cannot be ruled out.
