Gowanauthat does best when dropped into Class 5 company as he was at Fakenham last time though he's only up 4lb and should get involved again. Saint Bretz has never won over regulation fences though he's gone close on a couple of occasions and is 12lb lower than his hurdles mark. SOMERSET LIAS has finished a close second in his last three starts, all at this level. He'll enjoy the ground better than most and this looks a good opportunity for him. Kayfton Pete last won at Huntingdon in October though he's just 1lb higher and the conditions are ideal but It's two years since Bally Lagan won a race and he's still 5lb higher.
