Small on numbers but not lacking quality with all three runners set for bright chasing careers. LUCKY PLACE (2) was an above average graded hurdler who travelled as if something was a miss four weeks ago at Ascot. Should put that race firmly behind him and be sure to get back on track here. Star novice hurdler REGENT'S STROLL (3) needs to learn to settle having charged his way around here three weeks ago. Goes up in trip and as a noted novice chaser cannot be ruled out for one bad run. JIG'S FORGE (1) will have plenty to find on ratings. Returned from a lay-off last start managing a solid third in a chase (2m4f) at Cheltenham with this rider. Rates a decent chance against the line-up.
