Winning bumper THOSE TIGER FEET (NAP) was sent here for a Class 5 handicap on his return after a long break in November and made all. He's up 5lb but has plenty of scope and can go in again. Jessiemac gained her second course victory on testing ground just over a year ago and returned to form on good going at Kelso in October for which she has 7lb more to carry. J'Ai Froid ended last season with a victory at Exeter and is likely to have needed his comeback for a new trainer at Haydock but winning point-to-pointer Carlow Farmer has been looking a bit high in the weights. Bullion Boss was engaged in the 3.35 at Musselburgh yesterday where he looked to have a chance.
