MUNSIF (1) was being talked about as a possible contender for the Cheltenham Festival which never materialized. Well beaten in third at Navan last week and needs more on handicap debut but cannot be ruled out. TALAKAN (5) is yet to win hurdling. Taking big steps forward on every start and unlikely to be too far away. SENATOR (11) got off the mark winning at Market Rasen last month by 1. 25L. Could play a big role if coping with this good ground. KING AL (4) gained a victory ahead of the second mentioned at Ludlow two starts ago. Disappointed when fifth at Warwick three weeks back. Will need to improve. Still early days.
