Exmoor Ranger's jumping often leaves much to be desired but Josh Guerriero steered a wide course on him in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir here last month and he kept on well to finish third to Saturday's unlucky Grand National runner-up Sunnyhillboy. He's only a pound higher today but may have problems conceding 11lb to in-form BRADLEY. Fergal O'Brien's gelding stepped up from hunter chases to win a Haydock handicap by six lengths earlier this month and has run well in both previous visits to Cheltenham. Inside Dealer usually finds at least one too good and Billie Magern isn't easy to catch right, but could also go close if in the mood and is preferred to Ashkazar and Indian Pipe Dream.
