Bardd, 0-31 over hurdles and fences, will probably find a way of getting beat again. Fresh New Dawn was pulled up at Fontwell on Boxing Day having won earlier at Market Rasen but is one of the few with realistic claims in this. DO IT FOR THY SEN completed a double at this level at Southwell last May. He’s now only a pound higher than for the last of those victories and the drying ground will aid his cause. Coupdebol and Anightinlambourn are making their debuts over fences but it would be no surprise to see them play a part.
