After finishing second at Catterick on his chasing bow, Pogue made all at Doncaster but this looks tougher off an 8lb higher mark. Im Too Generous has placed in both starts so far over fences and possibly found 3m a shade too far here at the start of the month. Irish raider She'sasupermack is running in her first chase but she won twice over hurdles last year and has pointing experience. FIRST ACCOUNT has changed stables since second at Hexham in November but is very unexposed. The Hexham winner is now rated 128 so an opening mark of 117 may be lenient.
