ARDESIA is the only one to jump off the page after scoring very sweetly here over the weekend. Tina Jackson's charge also bagged this contest last year and with Alexander Voy getting on very well with the gelding, the partnership looks a solid bet to go in again under a 7lb penalty. Course winner Turbo Shandy is 7lb lower over hurdles than fences and has claims if putting a modest Towcester effort behind him. Nisaal's form figures are not overly inspiring but he hasn't been disgraced in his last three outings at Kelso and Paul Gallacher is a top-notch booking. Arisea looks each-way material for the local Moffatt yard.
