Ballinsker still looks high enough in the weights having finished third of five runners at Leicester last time while Shake Him Up and Bari Breeze make their chasing debuts having failed to win over hurdles. The former is preferred of that pair having only his second outing for a new yard but UBERMAN gets another chance. The latter ran poorly again back over timber at Ffos Las but won at Lingfield on his earlier chasing debut when, Harry Hazard was pulled up, and there should be more to come from him over fences.
