GUCHEN (1) continued the progressive trend this season gaining a 1. 25L success in a similar level 2m5f handicap hurdle at Kempton start of the month. Ticks plenty of boxes finding ideal opportunity to follow up. Leading contender. OUR DYLAN (3) won twice from the last three attempts over a similar distance including when scoring by 1. 75L a lower graded 2m3f handicap hurdle at Taunton. Respect as may replicate. KARMA POLICE (4) enhanced a promising profile when 5L third in a 2m4f heavy ground maiden hurdle at Ffos Las. Improvement likely. COULDNTMAKEITUP (9) produced a good 3. 75L third contesting a 2m handicap hurdle at Punchestown (Ireland) last month. Worth a market check.
