TARTAN GIGHA likes this track and though behind Classic Punch here earlier this month he didn't get the clearest of runs so can reverse the form and take this. Demolition has now dropped to a fair mark and the form of his latest run behind Clon Brulee at Ripon has been boosted by the winner. West Brit has been hurdling with some success but may need testing conditions so The Lock Master looks more of a threat as he's lower in the weights than when successful at Leicester in October and has won twice at Southwell subsequently.
