Majestic Mayhem has struggled since his decent second at Bangor last August and he'll do well to concede so much weight to EYRE SQUARE. Three times a winner over fences, Keith Reveley's charge went close when runner-up back over timber at Carlisle last time and is fancied to go one better here. Lua De Itapoan has been threatening to get her head in front with a couple of recent placed efforts and she's worthy of consideration, along with Senor Alco, whose third at Kelso on his hurdling debut gives him every chance. Stabelmate Bay Cherry has won twice over fences and makes his belated debut over timber here.
