Though twice successful over 2m3f here recently, Who's The Guv'nor has struggled over this sort of trip in the past. Yaazaain is starting to slip down the weights again but a record of 1-26 is off-putting. ABINGTON PARK was only 1-12 over hurdles but chasing might be his game given his full brother Avidity has won twice over the larger obstacles. Train Hill was second in the novices’ handicap on this card 12 months ago when last running over fences but Red Maple and Go All The Way probably need a bit more.
