Wotzizname beat a subsequent winner at Exeter in November and then ran in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham. He looks a promising stayer but MOUNT MEWS also has plenty of scope for improvement. Malcolm Jefferson's charge made a confident start over fences here earlier this month, his second win at the track, and could be heading for one of the championship races if safely passing this latest test. Robbin'hannon did well over hurdles considering he is bred to be a chaser. He should be worth following whatever happens here but this looks a big ask for Alastair Ralph’s ex-pointer Native Gamut.
