Lord Lescribaa is proving difficult to place but should strip fitter for an outing over hurdles here last month and will probably make the frame again. Kilvergan Boy has ability but is still a maiden over fences and may struggle to see out this trip, while Casual Garcia is best watched after pulling up twice in succession since scoring at Plumpton. Absolute Shambles also has a bit to prove at present but Chico Time ran a better race over 3m6f at Cartmel last week and JACKO'S BOY also appears to be coming to hand. Lightly-raced, he couldn't quite match the pace of The Luder at Southwell last time but this longer trip should play to his strengths and Martin Keighley's charge is worth risking against more exposed rivals.
