Ta Ta For Now is taken to get back on the winning track, he was a good winner at Hexham and would have followed up that success at Perth but for being carried out at the last when well clear, the only worry could well be the ground as his best form has been on fast ground and this softer ground may well be against him. Simply Supreme showed above average ability in bumpers notably when finishing seventh behind Kickham at Aintree and if he can translate that ability to hurdles he will be hard to beat getting weight off Ta Ta For Now. True North is also worthy of consideration he showed ability a couple of seasons ago prior to injury and he is sure to have come on for his first run since at Hexham and is worth a look in the market. Sahem was a double winner in bumpers and he to could take a hand in the finish if he takes to hurdles. Strong Resolve showed improved form when third last time out in an easier race at this track and he will need to improve again to score here. Epop is well bred and from a top stable and is worth a cautionary look in the market. The remainder will probably improve for the experience.
