I'M A LUMBERJACK (2) has been showing plenty of potential tackling hurdles this season with a close second over 3400m at Bangor-on-Dee preceding a 7.5L victory in a 4200m maiden hurdle two months ago at Warwick. Top selection. BELLIANO (1) represents a leading yard. Looks promising following a 1.5L success contesting a 4400m maiden hurdle at Ascot. Main danger. SILVER THORN (3) went well New Years Day producing a fair third on deep ground attempting 4800m at Southwell. Interesting. ESPOIR DES FORGES (4) rates next best.
