A Grade 2 winner over fences at this meeting last year, Sebastopol was successful over hurdles in September but he must have good ground or better. Soaring Glory and Cobblers Dream are also engaged at Doncaster today with the latter well ahead of the former on his reappearance at Kempton, where he also finished in front of Irish Hill. Get A Tonic was tried over fences at Warwick but never threatened and needs to recapture his best form. Anyharminasking has returned in decent form, however, while course winner Jet Powered is unexposed and makes his handicap debut but ROCK MY WAY, a decent novice last season, looked to be coming to hand when fifth at Cheltenham. Cheekpieces are added here and, with Freddie Gingell’s claim in his favour, he can come out on top with Uncle Bert departing early last time at Cheltenham in a race in which Off To A Flyer finished unplaced.
