Just Call Me Al carries a penalty for winning over track and trip earlier this month while Niven could only manage fourth here last time behind Snookered. Newtown Boy and Swaffham Bulbeck have a shout on these terms on form over hurdles but Rainy City missed the whole of last year having won a hurdles race over 3m when last in action. DANGER MONEY struggled on his debut over timber and first start for Donald McCain’s yard but was rated 93 when trained on the Flat in Ireland and may well figure in this.
