The majority of these are returning from breaks, so market confidence will be worth looking out for. That said, PRIME VENTURE showed some decent form last season despite failing to add to his novice hurdle at Sedgefield. His last two runs saw him finish second behind smart opponents and he's fancied to make a winning return, as he did last season. The mare Act Now excelled at this sort of trip late last season and is respected despite returning off an increased mark while Driftwood Haze has run his best races here and cannot be discounted as such. Verygoodverygood was backed last time at Aintree, before run no sort of race. He could be capable of much better.
