Jeano De Toulouse has finished tailed off in both start over hurdles but has won a couple of bumpers at Southwell and still has time on his side. But the one to beat looks to be TWELVE ROSES, well backed when third on his hurdling debut at Wincanton after winning a Chepstow bumper. It's just possible the 2m6f trip was too far on that occasion and he's worth another chance. Wild Card has been placed in a couple of bumpers and should do better now tackling hurdles while Call A Truce and Staigue Fort have hinted at ability but Frontier Vic may need this.
