Pete, another entrant due to run on the first day of the meeting, looks to have decent credentials if coming on here. His recent late-swoop Cartmel success came under Lucy Alexander who takes the mount once again. However, we'll take a chance with STREEDAGH LADY despite an absence of over a year. This useful pointer impressed when scoring with a deal to spare at Southwell in handicap chase company when last seen and will be tough to beat if returning in the same form. The Paddy Premium is struggling this term, whilst Crackerjack Lad is preferred of the Lucinda Russell pair as Lucky Sunny is asked to make this chase debut under top weight.
