MASTER DEE (NAP) was made to look a little one-paced over 2m last season so this step up in trip should be in his favour. He's already won a point-to-point and a bumper and can get off the mark over hurdles at the third time of asking today. Emkae makes more appeal then fellow winning pointer Maximiser and returning chaser Mister Bishop while bumper winner Clan Chief looks the pick of the remainder as Primary Route was beaten 22 lengths when third at Hexham.
