3/1
Smart hurdler who won the Betfair Hurdle in 2021. Failed to take to chasing on reappearance and not at best back hurdling the last twice. Back up in trip and assessor given him a major chance.

11/2
Showed benefit of second wind op when resuming winning ways at Huntingdon (15.8f) in November and notched his second success of last campaign at Wetherby in February. Pulled up at Cheltenham since but not completely dismissed given he's in excellent hands.

12/1
Won his first 5 chase starts, the latest over 19f at Doncaster in November. Didn't go with much zest in a good-quality handicap chase at the National meeting last month and lower hurdles mark looks justified.

3/1
Largely progressive sort who landed the odds in a 3-runner listed contest at Kempton on return in October. Runner-up twice since and shaped a lot better than the end result at Cheltenham last month, paying the price for a big move into contention. Looks interesting.

Capitalised on drop in grade in 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester in February. Just respectable efforts since and this his first hurdles outing since 2021.

Free-going front runner who won a pair of Musselburgh juveniles at the start of 2022. It's largely been a struggle since, though back on track to an extent ridden with more restraint the last twice.

Most of these are better known for their chasing exploits and the assessor has taken a major chance with HANG IN THERE's mark back over timber. He's selected to take full advantage, perhaps at the chief expense of Boombawn and Impulsive One.
