Court Baloo notched-up a four-timer last year but over longer trips than this and has been beaten off his current mark the last twice now. But SOUTHFIELD TORR has quickly returned to the same mark as when successful over today’s distance at Wincanton for Paul Nicholls last year and he gets the vote with headgear fitted on his first outing for a new yard. Karamoko returns from a lengthy absence with Brian Hughes on board despite the latter partnering Lastofthecosmics when third at Sedgefield in March while Trongate would prefer some cut in the ground.
