Call It On hasn't been disgraced in either start over fences while connections finally seem to have worked out On Gossamer Wings' best trip, though he was well beaten off this mark at Catterick last time. Ballymacduff hasn't built on early promise while Sergeant Pink also looks one to be wary of at present so we'll stick with the much-improved RED TANBER, who has been raised a further pound since Oscar Hill brought his winning streak to an end over C&D last month but clearly likes it here and should give supporters another run for their money.
