A conditional's claim negates the 7lb extra carried by White Fusion for a win at Catterick during the week but it's another jockey booking that takes the eye. A P McCoy takes up the reins on DONT TAKE ME ALIVE and the latter looks set to open his account over hurdles after finishing runner-up over track and trip last time. It's Oscar posted a better effort in a maiden hurdle on his latest start but Lisdonagh House couldn't cope with an 11lb rise at Fakenham when bidding for his hat trick. J'Adhere arrives out of sorts but has claims on his best form.
