MR MAFIA has been switching between hurdles and fences and finished runner-up in a more competitive chase at Worcester in September. He gets the nod on that form but Chankillo was still beaten a distance off today's mark at Bangor having won at Market Rasen earlier. Zama Zama ran well for third over 2m here last time considering he was racing from 8lb out of the handicap but Bus Named Desire doesn't look particularly well treated now chasing for the first time having won only one of her 15 starts over hurdles.
