Angus McNae begins Sunday tips with two winners

This six-year-old could turn out to be a useful performer in time, and I believe a second success over hurdles is on the cards for him here. 

He impressed when winning at Southwell in February where he won comfortably under a considerate ride.

Olly Murphy's charge has a top-class pedigree being a half-brother to Douvan and Jonbon. On that basis, he looks to have bright prospects for the future over fences. 

However, for now, he can continue his progression over hurdles by winning this novice hurdle. 

Le Labo was set for an impressive win last time out when falling at the last at Cork in a maiden hurdle. He would have won impressively that day had he stood up, and the turn of foot that he displayed was a sharp one, with his fall caused by the speed that he was travelling at, rather than a flaw in his jumping. 

This is a rise in grade, but he appears well thought of having been sent off at 4-1 for the Grade Two bumper at last year's Grand National meeting at Aintree. 

He has plenty of potential, and can take the step up in grade in his stride.

Wondering Why was an impressive winner at Lingfield last time out and he can defy a penalty in this novices' hurdle. He impressed at Lingfield with how well he travelled and quickened to win by five lengths with something to spare. 

He looks to be open to further improvement, and with the drying ground likely to enable him to employ his speed, I make him the one to beat.

This six-year-old is three from three over hurdles when making the running, and he can add to that tally here in a race where there seems to be little pace pressure. 

He steps up a couple of furlongs in trip, which looks certain to suit, and has only been raised 3lb for his win last time out at Hereford. 

Given he is completely unexposed over this trip, he looks to be a solid play.
