20/1

Scored at Ludlow in November but well below par both runs since, only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f) 7 months ago. This course winner has work to do.

7/2

Arrives in good nick over fences, scoring at Taunton and third of 15 in handicap chase at Perth (30.6f). Back from a break now and this C&D winner is in the mix.

Forecasts

Giovanni Change (7/4), No Fixed Charges (10/3), Some Detail (7/2), Wall Of Fame (11/2), Une De La Seniere (15/2), Ferrobin (20/1)

A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for GIOVANNI CHANGE who can race off the same mark as when a good C&D third and also boasts a C&D success. Wall of Fame seems sure to have a say if, as expected, building on his debut run for Donald McCain, with another C&D scorer No Fixed Charges well in the mix too.
