3/1

Failed to go on from promising start over fences last winter but best effort since when second over C&D in February, going with plenty of zest under a change of tactics. Hung badly when pulled up at Sandown.

13/8

Made winning chasing bow at Plumpton at the start of last year. Into his shell after but dropped in grade and much more like it when second at Fontwell a fortnight ago. Task is to back that up.

Forecasts

Jimmy The Digger (11/8), Twenty Twenty (13/8), Generator City (7/4), Ofalltheginjoints (3/1)

This looks trappy, but JIMMY THE DIGGER posted another sound effort when runner-up at Ludlow in February and he's just about the most persuasive option from the same mark. Generator City may have more to offer for Ian Williams and is second choice.
