Kingscourt Native made several mistakes before falling at Carlisle on his recent chasing debut and will need to improve his jumping to figure in this. ROLLING MAUL tired badly and was pulled up at Aintree earlier this month on his chasing bow but he should be sharper here and trip and ground are in his favour. The remainder are all returning from lay offs including chasing newcomers Fletchers Flyer and Onenightinvienna, though both should make chasers. Dawson City found the selection too good over timber at Warwick back in March but Kayf Moss will relish the ground and ran well on his first start over fences back in May.
