Thomas Garner's claim made all the difference for MITCHELL'S WAY over track and trip 10 days ago and the promising conditional takes off 7lb again today. He looks the one to beat despite a 7lb higher mark as Lucky Landing carries a penalty for last week's Market Rasen win and Chestertern also carries extra, though did win very easily at Warwick seven days ago. Stagecoach Jasper has been a little disappointing over hurdles but was second in a novice chase at Bangor last month and preferred to Dotties Dilema and plater Kirkaig of the others.
