B I Case
Yet to place in nine starts. Well beaten at 20-1 behind Shoudhavenownbettr when eighth of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Hereford over 2m 4f (good) in April last year.
OPERA OG was impressive when recording a first NH victory at Wincanton on Thursday and, providing those exertions haven't taken their toll, he should have few problems defying a 7lb penalty. Todareistodo looks the obvious danger on the back of his emphatic C&D success, while Amuse Me won a hurdle race at this track in October 2010 and looks nicely treated on his return over the larger obstacles.
