Abaya Du Mathan is the only course and distance winner having scored just over a year ago. He's 16lb lower and can get involved while Ring The Moon has also won around here though was beaten in a selling hurdle at Stratford last time. Haveanothergoflo, a winner between the flags, has gradually improved in three starts over hurdles and chasing should be his game though BOLSOVER BILL keeps on winning and can go in again. He gained his fourth success since November at Plumpton and a 5lb rise looks manageable. Natty Night, a winner on the Flat and over timber, has only had three starts over fences so should be capable of better.
