Houston Dynimo hasn't run over hurdles since December and has been struggling to make an impact over fences, though finished fourth here 12 days ago over the larger obstacles when The Wealerdealer unseated his rider. Verygoodverygood was beaten by a previously frustrating sort in a maiden at Newton Abbot last time and is becoming expensive to follow while Calin Du Brizais still looks too high in the weights returning to hurdles after a spell chasing. OUR FOLLY (NAP) was always travelling best and idled once hitting the front at Uttoxeter last month so may be capable of defying a 6lb higher mark ahead of Huntingdon third Gingili.
