Verdict

TOTAL RECALL has looked a much improved performer in two starts since joining this yard and having won off a 22lb higher mark in a valuable handicap chase at Newbury last time out he can make a winning return to hurdling in the hands of Paul Townend. Handicap debut Flawless Escape broke his maiden over hurdles last time and having placed in a point-to-point he can claim second stepping up in trip for a leading stable while third place can go the way of A Great View, a close second here in December.
