Feature race on the card could go the way of the progressive ALEXEI (2) who completed a double with handicap hurdle victories at Ascot and Cheltenham tackling this trip before a solid third in a 2m premier handicap hurdle at Ascot during December. Top selection. Three-time track and trip winner RUBAUD (1) is the main danger gaining a narrow success in the course and distance G2 Elite Hurdle two starts back. Produced a good third attempting the 2m G1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton Park. Big claims. SECRET SQUIRREL (4) returns after a year off having won a competitive 2m handicap hurdle at Windsor prior to a late fall at Newbury. Interesting on comeback. INTELLOTTO (3) might fill fourth spot.
