Ugly Bug was tailed off on his chasing debut at Haydock but has the build to do well over the larger obstacles and doesn't look badly handicapped on his form over hurdles. Bendant is a bit of a course specialist but probably high enough in the weights at present. Makethe Mostofnow looks better treated and has also gone well here in the past but Lookslikerainted could probably do with a confidence-booster. KNOCKANRAWLEY lacks experience but his third at Newbury last month was a good effort considering it came after a break. He may be capable of giving the weight away with Goodtoknow likely to need this and Cadeau George still having a bit to prove over fences.
