ROGER POL (3) scored decisively a 2m7 1/2f hurdle at Uttoxeter six days ago. Hard to oppose. PINOT ROUGE (2) resumes following a four-month lay-off. Began previous campaign with a placing in a 2m4f chase at this track beaten 22L. Proven fresh and rates a genuine threat. MOHAWK CHIEF (5) finished fourth in a 2m5 1/2f hurdle at Newton Abbot last time after winning a 2m4f hurdle here two starts back. Worth considering. IDEM (1) resumes after seven months on the sidelines. Made a pleasing return last prep when second in a 3m hurdle at Perth. Stable change could bring about further improvement. Completes the shortlist.
