CHECK MY PULSE has plenty of chasing experience but it took him nine attempts to get off the mark. However, he beat stronger opposition at Carlisle last month and a 4lb rise seems fair. Getaway Jewel was in good form at Market Rasen in July but has disappointed the last twice. Blue Hawaii has won around here over hurdles and should make a chaser while Snowy Clouds beat a couple of rivals at Market Rasen last month but the ground may have turned against Duke Of Luckley.
