Makari won a novice hurdle at Fakenham in October but couldn't quite hold Robbie on his only subsequent start on this track and looks high enough in the weights. STORMY OSCAR won a maiden for Mags Mullins at Tramore in October and was having his first start for Jamie Snowden at Market Rasen last month where he led for a long way over that 2m3f. He'll strip fitter here and gets the nod, especially as Leath Acra Mor won over 2m5f at Warwick and may find this on the short side. Musnad hails from a yard in form and received a nice confidence-booster in a Wetherby claimer a couple of weeks ago.
