Bumper winner Titchwood could figure on his hurdling bow and first start since March as could Irish bumper winner Superior Quality on his debut for a new trainer. Oyster Shell is another to note on his hurdling bow but Phone Home makes more appeal on the back of his second over timber at Folkestone last month. Warren Chase should finish closer today but the vote goes to SALMANAZAR, a bumper winner who ran well for a long way on his hurdling bow at Exeter and expected to improve with that outing under his belt.
