Kaysersberg won in this grade over course and distance last month but probably profited from below-par performances from his market rivals and he has 7lb more to carry today. Potters Cross tries his luck in a handicap for the first time having been campaigned at a lofty level in novice events. He must have some sort of chance but Seventh Sign has proved disappointing this season while Shakalakaboomboom's best form is over fences. Haydock second Matthew Riley has claims, however, and Rev It Up is potentially well handicapped though hasn't raced over hurdles since 2011. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN's latest run on bottomless ground at Chepstow can be ignored. He was in good form prior to that effort and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a victory here as this could be too tough for the hat-trick-seeking Mr Utah off his new mark and Dundee is treading water off his current mark.
