LEAUMEC DE MEE (8) opened the campaign with a solid second attempting a maiden hurdle at Fontwell Park then got off the mark at Sedgefield by 2L subsequently. Likely to figure prominently making handicap debut. GENERAL BRIAR (4) recorded a big win revisiting Plumpton. Certainly worth including with the stable going well. ALMUHIT (7) last appeared in the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket during September. Holds scope for further improvement back hurdling. PREMIER (12) made gradual progress as a juvenile hurdler this winter. Narrowly got off the mark last month at Taunton and now attempting handicaps at a realistic level is one to note.
