Distant Sound finally got his head in front at Towcester last week but doesn't appeal as the type to follow up under a penalty. Rolling Dough has dropped to a very lowly mark when winning for the first time in two years at Fontwell, however, and is only 4lb higher. Reyno swiftly reverts to hurdles after a run over fences and Tidestream and Wymeswold must have some sort of chance. OCCASIONALLY YOURS beat Tiradia over course and distance in October and meets him on better terms today. He's got his ground today and should give these a run for their money with his regular rider taking off 7lb. Vital Evidence has yet to make the frame in four attempts and has been off for almost a year.
