A competitive handicap hurdle in which Nicky Henderson (3-6, 50% at Hexham) is represented by Raising The Bar. Melody Of Scotland was evidently suited by the application of a visor when scoring readily over 2m here three weeks ago and although she should stay this trip on pedigree, a subsequent 11lb weights rise appears excessive. Something Brewing was runner up in this race in 2018 and would enter calculations if the market speaks positively, while the top-weight Morraman should be on the premises dropping back in trip to 2m4f. However, we'll chance the very well handicapped veteran LORD WISHES who hacked up over fences at Cartmel a month ago.
