Wizards Bridge won this last year, when Market Road was fourth, and is 2lb lower. Colin Tizzard’s charge hinted at a revival at Wincanton earlier this month so goes on the short-list but LORD BRYAN (NAP) is back in this grade for the first time since beating Beallandendall over course and distance last spring and the Sandown third looks the one to beat. Inaminna has won here over hurdles and is still unexposed over fences but Truckers Highway has never won off a mark this high and Pull Together looked beaten when falling at Catterick. Warwick scorer Keep Moving failed to cope with a 9lb rise at Uttoxeter.
