ASK THE LEADER could be the answer here as the three-times course winner has had a couple of runs over fences in recent week and will be happier back over timber. Clear The Clouds hasn't won yet but his two latest starts from this mark point to his chances. Course and distance winner Trishknowsbest has also been chasing but disappointed when well supported over timber here in April. C'Est Quelqu'un has moved to Gordon Elliott having won over hurdles and fences in the UK but Chancer Dancer ran poorly when sent to Uttoxeter last month after a much better run at Hexham.
