Winning hurdler Monty Guiry has failed to reach a place in four starts over fences while Johnny B was well beaten on his only chase start at Wincanton in February. Peter's Portrait has returned from a long break and ran well enough here last time to be considered but Paseo ran a shocker when favourite for the same contest where he jumped poorly. TAKE EM OUT has recently changed stables and, though eventually well beaten at Hereford, has dropped to such a lowly mark that he's taken to gain his first success since 2019.
