Gouet Des Bruyeres has won twice over fences but is 5lb higher than when last successful and is back over the smaller obstacles today. LADY TREMAINE makes more appeal as she finished clear of the rest when fourth in novice company at Uttoxeter on her reappearance and Donald McCain’s mare can improve further now handicapping. Phoebus Lescribaa would prefer faster going while Green Or Black is looking to end a long losing run on his second outing for Evan Williams’ yard.
