The market may prove the best guide to the chances of Books Review and Lion On The Prowl in this. The latter hasn't been seen since winning a claiming hurdle at Southwell last August. ROSIES PEACOCK made all for an easy victory between the flags at Tivyside 11 days ago and could be the one to beat if handling these stiffer fences as Crannaghmore Most was beaten at odds-on in another race at the same meeting while My Fella was only second at the East Devon meet. Doc Wells arrives on the back of a recent point-to-point win, however, and should make his presence felt.
