Georgina Nicholls’ Oscars Moonshine returns to action after an impressive run, having won both of his outings last October. With a solid fitness level, he poses a significant challenge under the guidance of Olive Nicholls.
Inca De Lafayette boasts an impressive hurdle record with three wins from nine starts. He finished as a runner-up off a 1lb lower mark at Taunton in February, making him a formidable competitor.
Ben Pauling’s Whatsupwithyou comes off a close second-place finish at Cheltenham in April, and a similar performance could place him in contention as he races under Ben Jones.
