THE BIG HOUSE is only a pound higher than when successful over track and trip last September and the talented Thore Hammer Hansen takes off a further 5lb. He should be fighting fit after a couple of runs last month. Mudawwan is 0-12 on Turf but found only one too good when favourite at Leicester a week ago. Kodimoor placed over track and trip last summer off a higher mark so is worth a market check while Haydock winner House Deposit will make a bold bid to defy his penalty. Thirsk runner-up Christmas Night has the plum draw and likes it here so can’t be ignored.
