Big Difference is 0-13 over fences and having a first run for a new yard. Gun Merchant and Oishin both failed to complete in the race won by Fiston Du Mou here last month while neither Get With It nor Cardboard Gangster have shown much over the larger obstacles so far. RACKS CROSS failed to place in six starts over hurdles but is bred for fences and has already won a point so is the interesting one in this with the champion doing the steering.
