David Pipe sends Airton on the long journey from Devon and the eight-year-old is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Uttoxeter in September. Compadre scored over fences on the same track in August and reverts to hurdles on an 18lb lower mark but this can go to CALARULES (NAP). Tim Vaughan's charge hasn't won since June 2018 but hasn't had much racing and will have come on a bundle for his run over a trip too short at Taunton in November. First Assembly is 0-10 but ran well on the latter track last month and is on a low enough mark while Friary Land was well supported at Plumpton but didn't enjoy the heavy ground.
