A novice hurdle lacking strength in depth and it provides the slick jumping LANGER DAN with a great opportunity to make it three out of four. The obvious danger seems to be Garry Clermont though the fact he bled last time is a slight concern. Archie Brown was clearly expected to fare better on his sole bumper run last spring but is interesting here switching to hurdles on first run for Paul Nicholls.
