DYSANIA finished ahead of To Be Sure and Wind Tor, with Talktomenow pulled up, when third in the race won by Flowing Cadenza at Ffos Las and is still at the right end of the handicap. Cuban Pete is looking a light of former days but Spotty Dog is proving a much better chaser than hurdler, though is closely matched with Gibberwell on Huntingdon form and may not have beaten Reign Suepreme at Hereford earlier this month had that one not been brought down two out. Ali Star Bert landed a bit of a gamble at Uttoxeter but is 6lb higher here and doesn’t look an easy ride.
