BESTCOT SPRINGS won here in September and was placed off higher marks later. He didn't run very well when favourite over fences at Kelso earlier this month but could bounce back reverting to hurdles. Darsi Dancer and Stay In My Heart both only found one too good last time so enter calculations. Kyllachykov drops down a grade while Just Like Dylan made late headway over a shorter trip at Carlisle so could be interesting.
