Warwick bumper winner HILDISVINI got off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking when beating Kid Cassidy at Sandown last month. A fluent jumper, today's longer trip is sure to suit and Charlie Longsdon's charge is taken to continue his winning ways. Not Til Monday turned in a poor effort last time but had won his previous two starts including one over C&D. He's not easily ruled out here and neither is Cleaver, whose latest second at Kempton gives him a chance. Junior Jack finished a creditable third on his reappearance and hurdling debut at Ffos Las and he's worth noting along with Sir Royal, a 1m4f winner on the Flat.
