Saga de Tercey has been competing a higher level this term but hasn't shown a great deal. Qualviro was pulled up over fences last time and needs further but Black Is Beautiful would have place claims on his best form, though needs forgiving for a poor effort here last time. GO ANNIE was beaten less than a length by Prickles at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. She's gone up 3lb since but still gets 8lb from The Fox's Decree, who has now had 30 attempts to get off the mark over hurdles. Raduis Bleu and Samtheman have a chance at the weights but are hard to win with.
