QUEBEC won at Market Rasen last time despite making a hash of the last hurdle. The runner-up Lochalsh has subsequently notched-up a couple of wins so the form looks solid and he can go in again. Stratford winner Guard Of Honour seemed not to stay the 2m4f at Ffos Las on his latest start and has plenty to find with the selection on today's terms. Are They Your Own posted a better effort over track and trip last time and hurdling newcomer Milestone went close in a bumper here in October. General Brook is rated highest on the Flat of the hurdling debutants.
