Find A Key landed a Hexham bumper last April and has come up against a couple of decent performers in his two starts over hurdles at the minimum trip here this year. He's likely to be suited by the longer trip and should be in the shake-up but may find RED ROCCO too strong. Donald McCain's charge, twice runner-up to Native Gallery over today's trip at the end of last year, found 3m stretching his stamina at Towcester last time and deserves to get his head in front for the first time. Higgs Boson ran very well behind the promising Sydney Paget over the C&D a month ago and wouldn't need to improve much to get involved while Gordon Elliott sends winning point-to-pointer Wari Mist from Ireland to make his debut under Rules and he's one to keep an eye on.
