Desoto County got back to winning ways reverting to hurdles at Tramore but we fancy MOABIT to bounce back from a first defeat in five at Market Rasen. Paul Nicholls has a 50 per cent strike rate with his runners here and the four-year-old was a little too keen at the Lincolnshire track, though still finished ahead of Cornborough. Tea In Transvaal is useful and can go well fresh. She represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination while Mardale is another mare who knows where the winning post is. Brotherly Company and Jacks Last Hope are no mugs and Winterlude has bags of scope having had just the three runs to date over timber.
