The progressive OPTICIAN may well be good enough to complete the four-timer here. I know he only prevailed by a nose over track and trip last time but that was timed to perfection by Rossa Ryan and he did well to get up off a slowish gallop. There is a lot more pace on here and up just 3lb with further improvement to come I think he'll justify favouritism. Optik is another one going the right way despite that blip latest so looks the danger. Does have ground to make up though.

The improving DOLLY DELIGHTFUL looks worth siding with here. She looked to need the experience on hurdles debut finishing third at Wincanton and then improved to chase home Party Vibes at the same venue next time which looks good form. Again she ran well in defeat chasing home Easy Peasy at this track last month and with more to come on handicap debut she should open her account. Chosen Hero just about held on at Chepstow but still looks the main threat.
