Rocked Up won a course and distance maiden but never got into contention on her handicap debut at Carlisle and can do better. Hidden Depths completed a double around this time a year ago and ran very well on the Flat last time though wouldn't want more rain. Dual bumper winner Betty Baloo was very consistent in her novice hurdle campaign and the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. Eight-times Flat winner Seinesational needs to bounce back from a poor run when beaten a long way at Carlisle but Belvedere Blast ran very well to be placed at Uttoxeter. ALLBETSOFF has yet to win in a dozen starts but this could be his trip as he led for a long way before fading at the last when tackling 3m at Tipperary in May.
