There may be more to come from Busy Being Busy now upped in trip, while the return to likely good ground could well result in Getoverthathill returning to form. However, JACKPOT CASH (nap) earns the vote now back over hurdles with the form of last month's Southwell win having been franked.[David Bellingham]

Made a successful stable debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month (runner-up won next time); couldn't quite take advantage of his lower chase mark at Bangor nine days later and 6lb higher than at Southwell, but he still makes plenty of appeal back over hurdles.
Raced four times without success in France after winning at Hexham (2m good to soft) last May, but well held on his return to this yard on handicap debut at Warwick (2m, soft) three weeks ago; needs to find more for the longer trip.
Hooded all four starts; twice well held after going close on his Thurles debut (2m, good) in November, but showed more when fifth of 14 on his second start for this yard (handicap debut) at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) 13 days ago; shaped then as though he would appreciate further; interesting.
Has regressed since winning over fences off a 28lb higher mark in May 2023 and the return to hurdles hasn't halted the slide; blinkers given a go this time and they will need to have a big effect.
Hasn't built on his Ludlow bumper success (good) in October 2023, but he didn't run badly when fourth of 11 at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last month (winner has gone in again since); shaped as though worth another go over this far and not dismissed.
Irish point winner who comfortably made a successful handicap debut over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in November; beaten a long way into third of six there (2m3f, soft; 6-4) the following month, but the likely good ground here may bring about a resurgence.
