Some real heartbreakers on here with plenty of finger-burners on view. Entisag is one such horse who fulfills the tag. He has started at short odds on a number of his starts but he doesn't look as if he can stay even the minimum trip and with fast ground forecast. we will leave him alone. Caballe was useful when with Nicky Henderson as a novice but has not sparkled since. Dance In Tune looked very ordinary at Taunton last time out. He is capable of winning this if back to his best but the market is watched before any money is wagered. Firestone, who has decent placed efforts in Northern novice hurdles, is watched in the market for encouragement. He has form on a good surface but the faster surface is still something of an unknown.
