Winning hurdler Cilliseal was well beaten on his only start so far over fences but TREEHOUSE scored over these obstacles in April. Pulled-up in fast ground at Sedgefield last time, he should go close back on more suitable going. Esme Rides A Gaine was also pulled-up in the same race as the selection but had gone close in a couple of starts at this track earlier in the year while Toulouse Express finished third in that Sedgefield race and seems to handle most types of ground. Sam Patch is usually thereabouts without winning and is another to consider.
