Rossbeigh Strand made a very promising start over hurdles when finding only one too good at Chepstow but SHOLOKJACK created a very favourable impression at Leicester and he did beat a subsequent hurdles winner on his sole start between the flags. Where's Hector has found only one too good at Hexham and Catterick and should be winning soon but Right Said Ted might just need this. Chase Outlaw won a point and is a half-brother to a winning hurdler and chaser so looks the pick of the remainder.
