PLAYFUL FOX wasn't given a hard time of it when a recent fifth at Uttoxeter on his chasing bow and this dual winning hurdler is fancied to build on it and gain a first win in this sphere. Fencing debutant Annual Invitation brings potential and could emerge as the chief threat, especially if the market vibes are positive. Reteti and Another Folly aren't out of things either.
