Kapricorne only found one too good on his first start here for Dan Skelton but is now 0-18 over fences and 2lb higher today. Quick N' Easy has never won but was only beaten half-a-length over track and trip last time, though is also creeping up the weights. ABBEYGREY lacks a recent run but won here in 2014 on similar going and is only a pound higher. He won on soft ground over hurdles at Exeter last year and may be a bit better than these. Packettotherafters beat a good yardstick at Bangor last time so can’t be ignored but Flugzeug might need this.
