The run of CHIVERS at Lingfield last time out is probably better than it looks as ridden from the front this time he did too much too soon with his early exuberance costing him in the end. Ridden with more restraint, as he was when scoring at Fontwell he’s shown he can cope with this mark. Sky Full Of Stars returns to fences but his 8lb higher mark in this sphere gives him a tougher task than when winning over hurdles here last time. Glance Back is another who was undone by his early enthusiasm last time that left him vulnerable at the death and he looks the main danger. Wisecracker is becoming a better jumper but still needs to improve to take a race like this, another place beckons.
