The Cobbler Swayne returned to form when a close-up second at Wetherby last time and should figure with a similar effort but Ayr winner Cadore failed to cope with a 10lb rise at Catterick last month. Lucematic scored over these hurdles three weeks ago on her first start since 2013 and has been raised 9lb for her trouble. But third-placed BALLYVOQUE re-opposes on better terms today and may well turn the tables. Hunters Belt looks stuck on his current mark but Higgs Boson has a chance on his recent placed efforts having slipped down the weights.
