Runner-up at Uttoxeter last time; stable has won two of the last eight runnings

4-5 in completed hurdles and 2-2 under William Easterby; much respected on handicap debut

Up 7lb, but shaped as though a longer trip would suit when winning last time; respected

2-26 strike-rate but he can't be ruled out, especially if benefiting from the wind surgery

Has proved consistent this year; the slight drop in trip should suit; high on the list
4	The Long Walk b Stan Sheppard · Jonjo & A J O'Neill	Stan Sheppard · Jonjo & A J O'Neill	166	—	636-1P	113	113	80	56d	—	—	+8	18.6	7/1 13%
Disappointing on handicap debut last time; right-handed track may help, but a bit to prove

Contrasting form lately; tendency to jump/hang left would be a concern on this track
