Verdict
Another modest heat but heavy ground may have been to blame for TROJAN SUN's no-show at Hereford last time. He won on soft going over hurdles and is still lightly-raced over fences so could be the one today. Glen Countess enters the argument on her second at Newbury, though is 4lb higher now, while Refusal has shown some promise and doesn't look badly treated on his handicap bow. It's Like That doesn't have a second gear but will be staying on up the straight and could grab a place again with Addiction carrying plenty of weight.
