Sir Dylan is in top form and heading for a hat-trick but he's up another 7lb for his Stratford victory and this could be a step too far. HIGHBURY HIGH had an unsuccessful spell over fences before reverting back to timber in fine form. He was placed twice here before scoring on fast going at Wincanton and can defy a 6lb rise. Ding Ding is only five and is still a maiden over hurdles but she's won on the Flat and showed enough at Plumpton last time to make her presence felt. Ourmanmassini hasn't won in 20 starts over hurdles but hasn't performed badly while Thepartysover gained a very easy victory over 2m3f here in December and would have to be considered in that kind of form.
