Maller Tree is fairly treated back over fences but needs to brush up his jumping. Poole Master still pulls too hard and may struggle to get home under today's conditions while Green Belt Elite has yet to prove he's as good as he once was. Triptico has claims on last season's form but has been largely disappointing this winter while Frontier Spirit appears to have lost the plot. Tony Dinozzo has gone up a further 4lb since falling at the last at Fakenham but would have won that day and looks the danger to THE CHAZER with a clear round. Richard Lee's grey came good at this time last year and is back on a winning mark after his latest third at Leicester.
