Migration gets the decision in another wide open affair, Harik and River Of Fire are two others in with a shout. Migration is not the force of old but should still have the ability to land a race of this nature. He was well beaten over the jumps last time but had previously finished an excellent third behind Gran Dana at Yarmouth. The extra distance today should suit and a big run is expected. Harik looks the pick here on official ratings, a recent chase winner, he was third at Lingfield off a mark of 68 in January. a repeat of that effort should see him go close today. River Of Fire put in a decent effort at Wolverhampton last month when fifth behind Double Royal and he could sneak into a place at decent odds. Fletcher also holds each-way pretensions, but on this occasion we will pick Migration to land first prize..
