Tactical Manoeuvre pops up every now and again and is on a winning mark on his reappearance but Minnie Escape looks a few pounds too high, though won at Stratford around this time last year.

Lusitanien is very unexposed and Shutupshirley should also have more to offer but REPRESENTING BOB has been in a rich vein of form over fences and is 5lb lower than when successful last month at Bangor as he has a first run in a handicap over the smaller obstacles.
