This appears to revolve around Get Ready Freddy , who has two wins from four over these obstacles and scored with consummate ease at Worcester on debut for this yard on the first of the month. He's thrown in the towel in his other two chase starts and having taken a big hit from the handicapper here, looks opposable at the likely prices. June C&D winner No No Cardinal cannot be ruled out, though has flopped back here since, while Third Act ran well here in a novice chase recently and could offer more. CHANGING THE GUARD did well to finish second from a poor position over C&D last month and could go one better now if able to challenge from a better position in the closing stages off the same mark.
