A number of those declared are chasing newcomers, and of the remainder with previous experience over fences their respective form-lines don't exactly stack up positively. However, it should be noted that Little Stevie hasn't been in the care of Stella Barclay for long, and he absolutely hacked up in a weak handicap hurdle at Worcester last week so could be capable of continuing to progress. That said, the undoubted class act is the delicate I'M TOO GENEROUS who in seeking a hat-trick serves a fine testament to the training skills of Rebecca Menzies. Granted a safe round of fencing on chasing debut, he rates as the preferred option.
