Church Field completed a four-timer on fast ground in 2013 and has only gradually come down the weights though his young rider's claim will help. RASCAL looked much better than a 115-rated handicapper when bolting up at Ludlow so coming here with a penalty looks the right option and Bridget Andrews' claim is a bonus. He can complete a quick double though Sonofagun, who has been chasing, can race from an 8lb lower mark over hurdles and can go well. Try It Sometime, who might well have won at Uttoxeter but for falling, gained compensation with an easy victory at Ffos Las and a 10lb rise is halved by Robert Williams' claim. Bladoun went up 13lb for his victory at Leicester then lost his chance with a bad error at Taunton. He ran very well at Uttoxeter last time and it will be a surprise if he's not in the frame. The lightly-raced Special Wells is another with a chance in an open handicap.
