Banksandditches landed a hunter chase in May but has his first start since. Xenophon and Kilcascan are more recent winners but neither makes much appeal off higher marks and it could be the turn of BEBINN (NAP) today. The latter found only one too good in a higher grade chase at Chepstow last month and is preferred to Dawnieriver, a runner-up at Taunton on her latest start but raised 5lb for that. Mansonien L'as was placed at Carlisle last time and is not out of this while Electric Mayhem made the frame at Wincanton in April and is 3lb lower on her return.
