Wily Fox got off the mark over hurdles at Folkestone last month and is up 5lb for a narrow margin victory. If I Had Him has superior form but hasn't raced since March 2011 and Wom's recent placed efforts have been in plating contests. Mon Desir has a shout on his second at Stratford in October and Dream Risk is not easily dismissed back over the smaller obstacles as she landed a double over timber in August though she's 10lb higher today. LISDONAGH HOUSE has been hit with an 11lb rise as he bids for a hat-trick but scored with plenty in hand at Hexham last time and is worth sticking with in his current form.
