Better Days weakened quickly at Market Rasen last month and Court Dismissed was beaten when falling at Sedgefield. Fight Commander is on a winning mark, however, and entitled to be thereabouts if fully wound-up but RAMORE WILL is going to make a better chaser than hurdler judged on a facile win at Plumpton and should be capable of winning again off a 5lb higher mark. Upbeat Cobbler rattled up a hat-trick last year but looks held by a couple of these on collateral form.
