Warksburn Boy had every chance when falling three out at Carlisle last month but this should chiefly concern recent Ayr winner Another Mattie and CRACKED REAR VIEW. Preference is for the latter in receipt of 7lb as he has a pedigree for jumping, though hasn't been seen since landing a Sligo bumper for Shay Barry in May of last year. Mahler And Me showed little in bumpers last season.
