THISONETIME was making his chasing debut over the minimum on this track a fortnight ago where he was only headed on the Flat after leading two out. That was a slightly better race than this and Bridget Andrews' claim can help him gain his first victory over fences. Flaming Charmer has much more experience than most of these having won three times over fences but has been raised 5lb for finishing second here last time. Farm The Rock was having just his second start over fences when runner-up at Wincanton and looks certain to make further progress as does the five-year-old Bradford Bridge, though the latter will need to do much better to get involved here. Gardiners Hill has won around here though in a lower-grade contest.
