Lord Fox scraped home at Leicester last month but has another 7lb to carry here. MARTIN CASH looked to have more up his sleeve when beating King Ozzy by more than four lengths at Wincanton. He has a penalty for that success but can confirm the form and double his tally over fences as ex-pointer Manogue Supreme finished tailed off back under Rules at Wexford last time and may need this. Tchang Goon is a long-standing maiden who is 9lb out of the handicap.
