Three Kings won a point at Tyrella last month and has joined Gordon Elliott. He could be on a lowly mark here so the market is best watched. DISCAY arrives in top form having won at Wetherby then finished a close second in a Huntingdon handicap. He's scored on good ground and this is his trip so he can get back to winning ways. Liosduin Bhearna has only had two runs over timber and looks on a high enough mark but Knockamona has to be greatly respected back over hurdles after scoring over fences at Carlisle last week though he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. The four-year-old Sarvi has been consistent enough and can probably snatch a place again.
