Despite his generous starting price, there appeared no fluke about Mohayer's defeat of Daldini and eight others at Market Rasen last month. But previously thought best over shorter trips, he has a further three furlongs to cover here and that may just prove his undoing off a 6lb higher mark. KAYBEEW won over hurdles here in January and repeated the trick over fences last month. That was his chasing debut so there is probably more to come from Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old who can follow up today. My Moment won at Fakenham in October but doesn't appear the force of old, while Sun Tzu has lost his way again and Take Over Sivola has struggled since arriving from France. The others have plenty to prove at present.
