A few of these have disappointed once too often but LADY OF THE NIGHT (NAP) went clear with the winner when second on her chasing bow at Wetherby and she’ll know more today. Enormouse won over track and trip on just his second chase start and is also interesting but Caswell Bay, Fearless and Tile Tapper are probably worth taking on again. Redford Road has a much higher rating over hurdles but just hasn’t taken to fences so far and Found On is another with a bit to prove.
