Made a winning hurdling debut in a similar race at Exeter in December and has bettered that form in defeat under a penalty at Newbury and Hereford, finding less than looked likely last time. Excellent opportunity with Lundi Noir coming out.
Maxios gelding from the family of smart hurdler/useful chaser (stays 2½m) Le Patriote. Attracted some support but held back by inexperience when well held on debut at Hereford (Star of Guiting clear in third) 3 weeks ago. Needs to leave that behind now tongue tied.
Shaped a bit better than first time up given a more patient ride when second back at Sedgefield in October. Plenty more needed against the penalised winner, though.

Star Of Guiting (1/2), Lundi Noir (11/8), Mad Maxios (2/1), Popa Rich (12/1)
An excellent opportunity for STAR OF GUITING to resume winning ways under a penalty. Popa Rich can follow him home.
