Snuker might appreciate the drop in distance after weakening when third over 3m3f at Sedgefield last time. Monbeg is tried in a visor after disappointing lately and could figure but it's impossible to have much faith in Stagecoach Jasper nowadays and Hidden Horizons has been struggling to get her head in front over fences. Russe Blanc was pulled up at Taunton last time but did win at Uttoxeter in the autumn. DOTTIES DILEMA may be worth an interest now stepped up in trip. He won over 3m between the flags and has been getting outpaced over 2m1f so far.
