SA SUFFIT looks the obvious place to start with Will Be Done capable of better and Cloudy Lane a factor if taking up this engagement. The latter is also entered at Doncaster but would be a major player in this race, although he did fall at the first fence here last year. We select Sa Suffit though in the hope that he picks up where he left off at Wetherby last month when disposing of some rivals. The weights of this contest favour this 152-rated beast and with the ground in his favour he should win if lasting home. Will Be Done looks a big danger as he is better than able to show when pulled up at Ascot in January. His subsequent hurdles run wasn't too bad and as long as his jumping holds up then one of the most exciting novices' of last year could come good again. Camden George has plenty to find on the ratings but he handles the ground well and has won here before, whilst Justwhateveryoulike has been progressing well at a lower level. Like a few of these he has plenty to find on official ratings but with confidence high there is no telling what might happen. Not Left Yet looked out of love with racing when last seen in the care of David Pipe but the Scottish air may have done him some good, whilst Wild Cane Ridge is a course winner but not always the most consistent. This looks a good chance for Sa Suffit to pick up £12,000.
