This will take some getting in these conditions. Pegasus Prince won a novice chase over 3m3f here in December and has mainly been confined to hurdling subsequently. Leac An Scail has only won once in 19 starts over fences but loves heavy ground and should have few problems staying the trip. OVERYOU hasn't had too much experience over fences but was in front when falling at the second last over this marathon trip here in March before scoring at Kelso. She has scope to do better and can take this though Cilliseal loves this track and defied several mistakes to score over 3m1f here last month so should prove a big threat. Hobb's Dream stays forever at his own pace and should get round safely but Seaofemotion is a long way out of the handicap.
