Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Q'fier) 2m5f A rare qualifier for the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham run over a shorter trip, and one which has thrown up some notable performers, including 2015 Pertemps winner Call The Cops as well as top-notch chasers God's Own and Silviniaco Conti.

The prevailing good ground means that speed will be tested more than stamina and that will suit Sixty Plus, who has gone on a winning spree since joining James Owen from the stable of Clare Hobson in the summer.

Sixty Plus isn't the only runner suited by good ground here, and IDY WOOD ran as well as he ever has when a creditable third in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow last month.
