Course specialist CELTIC ART (5) seems to come alive when he runs here having won two of his last three starts. Raced at the venue six times and finished top three on five of those occasions. Hard to fault. INTO THE PARK (7) is a previous course and distance winner. Out of sorts this season and revisits hurdles after a disappointing chase debut. One to consider. JACK HYDE (6) was a winner at Newton Abbot in the autumn. Given wind surgery since his last start and a betting guide advised. BRENTFORD HOPE (1) missed by 1. 5L attempting the G2 International Hurdle three weeks ago. This is easier and rates a major player.
