Dr Irv came good over this trip at Redcar last week and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty. But the one to beat may be FOSTER'S ROAD, who has won over hurdles since scoring over 1m2f on the Polytrack in March and didn't fare at all badly back on the Flat at Folkestone last month. Rosie's Lady has been placed in seven of her 13 starts and could make the frame again while Seagoing should stay and may do better now tackling handicaps but the others would need to improve on what they've shown so far this term to figure.
