Hoganville includes two victories here in his four career successes over timber and makes his chasing debut. HALF SHOT (NAP) took on stronger company after completing a double last autumn and goes well fresh so gets the vote. Methodtothemadness didn't have much to beat when completing a double in February but Do No Wrong continues to make good progress. However, the latter is up 11lb for completing a Uttoxeter double and was ridden by a 5lb claimer so this is tougher. Camp Belan looks best of his stable's pair.
