Exit To Freedom was third over a shorter trip here four weeks ago but has to race from 4lb out of the handicap. Kelsey is more interesting as he was doing best work in the closing stages over this trip at Uttoxeter on his latest start. FACTOR FIFTY recorded his sole success over hurdles here two years ago and this is a much weaker race than the one he ran in at the track at the start of the month. Philip Kirby's charge can end his losing run with Peter Silver proving hard to place and Town Mouse probably having a confidence-booster before returning to chasing.
