SEGO SUCCESS (NAP) won this off a 2lb lower mark last year and is back for more. He should reverse Bangor running with Valadom and probably won’t be far away again while stablemate Ziga Boy has also won over this track and trip. The latter was only fifth in that Bangor race but was spared a run around Aintree last week when brought down at the first. No Duffer will be all the better for a spin over hurdles while Blakemount looks the pick of Sue Smith’s two runners, though will need to take a step forward to land this. Knock House is talented but hard to catch right and lacks a recent outing.
