Bestwork is on a roll but is now 22lb higher than when scoring for the first time over fences at Towcester in May. Rockchasebullett ran his best race for a long time here last month but Lee Side Lady needs to improve on her only run over fences so far at Worcester in July and Kings Cross is on a long losing run. Rothman can run well fresh but Dan Skelton pitches the four-year-old RAVENS HILL (NAP) in against experienced handicappers after just two runs in novice events and he can make the most of a sizeable age allowance.
