Jolly Roger had an entry at Hereford last night and would probably be worth opposing here under a penalty while The Tiddly Tadpole looks to have a bit to find at the weights, but the others all have decent claims with Charminster proving suited by the switch back to hurdles at Warwick and Prankster on a hat-trick after last month's victories at Market Rasen and Ffos Las. REBEL DANCER hasn't won for a while and is 3lb higher than last month's close second at Wetherby but appears in good heart and can end his wait for a second success over timber. Praxiteles didn't do himself justice at Stratford after a break but will strip fitter here and is preferred to Inoogoo, Weetfromthechaff and Fashionable Gal.
