Silver Coaster won a novices' handicap at Stratford earlier this month but this is a step up. Bobby Bullock should be thereabouts again while Safe Investment would have a chance if Lawney Hill has managed to coax him back to his best as he was placed on good to soft before running a shocker over hurdles at Southwell. OH RIGHT won over hurdles here in June and is back over fences off a pound lower mark. He's still to manage a victory over the larger obstacles but this may be his chance to put the record straight.
