Vicenzo Mio alternates between hurdles and fences and has won three times over the smaller obstacles. He's having his first start at this lowly level and can go well if ready after a break. Legend Of France is another tackling this company for the first time but won over the course and distance in December. Global Thrill took a crashing fall when last seen at Newton Abbot in May while OUTRATH has never won in ten starts over hurdles. However, Suzi Best's charge was only beaten a short-head in a Class 4 handicap at Worcester in September and that form would be good enough for this. Goldslinger led for a long way in a similar race over 2m2f at Stratford and though the shorter trip will suit the testing ground may not. The veteran Flanagans Field won't mind the conditions and has been running in better company so goes on the shortlist.
