I always remember an esteemed (in my eyes) and abhorred (in some others) race reader saying something some 8-10 years ago like ' watch out for a horse coming back to hurdles from fences, they invariably need a run or two to readjust'. Sadly, for my betting wallet anyway, I've seen plenty of examples in the last 8-10 years where that hasn't held true. And some that have, ofc.

But maybe worth noting PT was on first run back over hurdles when well back in the County last time. There were form interpretations beforehand where you might have expected a much better run and surely connections did, too. Maybe now is the better time to play him. Sadly, again, I took around 20s a few days ago. Much more attractive now.

Seamus Mullins does (often unexpectedly) well with his chasers when they appear to be up against it, doesn't he. Witness TBs 3rd in the Eider, Moroder the other day, and a few other examples in recent years.

I'd say Egbert (fancied somewhat by Alan King, and he knows what it takes to win this), and Surrey Quest (probably saved for this but appears to have missed what was likely a warm-up on March 9th) could both go well at 40-1 and 33-1 respectively
