Top weight CHASE END CHARLIE has been running well in defeat in recent starts and he can register a victory in this staying handicap hurdle. The selection has run well over this trip in the past and can see off Good And Hardy who ran a decent race at Exeter last time out and remains open to improvement. Third place can go to Buble who is stepping up in distance following a fourth at Plumpton last month.
