Double Treasure is giving away 6lb to fellow chaser The Last But One but is rated 24lb higher over the larger obstacles than Paul Nicholls’ charge and has already notched up a win over timber. After pulling well clear here on her debut under Rules, DESIRABLE COURT (NAP) was surprisingly beaten by The Bay Birch at Uttoxeter but she probably warrants another chance here with her mares’ allowance. Diligent probably did as well as could be expected on his first run for a new yard here last month but this is tougher.
