JUST DON’T KNOW won at Ayr a week ago when his sole rival fell but Paul Robson’s charge landed a higher grade chase than this at Kelso back in January and another bold bid is expected. Southern Sam has yet to win over fences though finished runner-up off today’s mark at Wetherby last time while Huntingdon winner Northern Poet and Harlem Soul are both upped in trip. Animal returns to this longer distance having gone close at Stratford and can make his presence felt but Ozzie Man disappointed when favourite at Fontwell last time and gets a change of headgear.
