SKIDOOSH (NAP) stepped up to this trip at Doncaster last week and showed that stamina is his forte. He has a penalty to carry here but drops down a grade and Connor Brace, who claims 7lb, has already won on him this season. Placed in a maiden and a novice hurdle so far, Financial Outcome is interesting making his handicap debut. Jabulani tries 3m for the first time but was second to a subsequent winner at Haydock in December. Victarion reverts to hurdles after falling last time over fences but the ground may not be soft enough. Copper Gone West and King Cool are recent winners while Duke Of Kilcorral is also worth considering but His Dream couldn’t handle a weight rise last time at Doncaster.
