DOUGLAS HYDE (1) is racing consistently with one win and five placed efforts past six starts including placing third on second hurdling appearance three weeks ago at Chepstow. Will be thereabouts. GOLDEN IDENTITY (3) placed second two outings back attempting a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Ffos Las before following up with a third in a 2m handicap hurdle at Hereford. Expected to challenge. SPOT ON SOPH (2) finished second providing penultimate run contesting a course and distance handicap hurdle. Proved unable to replicate when fifth at Market Rasen. Might bounce back. EL JEFE (4) cannot be discounted after a latest third at Ayr.
