MR MOLE is a quirky individual and fell on his latest start in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham but is in an entirely different league to his four rivals in this if on his best behaviour. Dream Lucky and Fuse Wire are both tackling fences for the first time but winning hurdler Lady Bridget should have learned from her run at Exeter and may be the one for forecast-backers ahead of ex-pointer Master Mariner.
