TAXMEIFYOUCAN finished his race strong last time at Hexham when he was successful over a shorter trip than this. He remains off a workable mark so take him to make the successful step up in distance. Justatenner has been performing consistently well over the last few months and although he is at a new career high mark, it should not prevent him from being in contention, while Scottish Grand National winner Takingrisks deserves a lot of respect on his return to hurdles so take him to fill the placings in this compeitive contest.
