Joe Tizzard's WALK TALL impressed as a future chaser in the making in a relatively light campaign over hurdles last season and this winning pointer is taken to make a successful start in this sphere. Easy C&D scorer C'Mon So rates a big threat though, while Aill Dubh appeals as the pick of the remainder.

VerdictMaiden hurdler. Made an impressive start over fences with success in 8-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago, forging clear run-in. Hiked up 7 lb but has more to offer and expected to be bang there. - 1. Walk TallJ: Freddie GingellT: Joe TizzardF: 2/876523-

VerdictLow-mileage 6-y-o who signed off last season with a good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (3¼m, good) in April. This winning pointer has since had a breathing operation and appeals as the sort to do much better over fences. Interesting. - 7. Aill DubhJ: Brian HughesT: Micky Hammond & Becky SmithF: 31-441536

VerdictDoubled his chasing tally at Cartmel (21f) in July. Posted a creditable third at Sedgefield (3¼m) in September but came in last of 6 at Newcastle (2½m, good) 10 days ago. Could bounce back with usual cheekpieces refitted.

VerdictA course winner but this veteran is unreliable nowadays and arrives on the back of a well-held fourth of 8 to C'mon So over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. 4 lb "wrong" in the weights too.
