Four-year-olds get a hefty weight allowance from older horses over fences at this time of the year and REJAAH's feather weight is reduced further by David Noonan's claim. Nigel Hawke's filly won over hurdles here in June and she should take all the beating if handling the bigger obstacles. Hammersly Lake fell on his only previous try over fences but has been in better form over hurdles than stablemate One For The Guv'nr lately. Gran Maestro likes it here but needs to improve on a distant third over track and trip last month.
