Bredon Hill Lad won at Uttoxeter before finishing second to Cheat The Cheater in the mud at Lingfield. The winner went close again next time at Southwell so the form may be better than it looked at the time but Sue Gardner's charge may struggle to give the weight to Southwell winner GLOBAL DOMINATION on these terms and the latter gets the nod to complete a double. Bears Rails should leave his hurdles form well behind now tackling fences and Jumpandtravel won a selling hurdle here last month and has also been successful between the flags so can't be ignored, but Rior continues to disappoint.
