Verdict
Houndscourt saves his best for this track, winning here on Boxing Day and going in again on his latest start. But he has a further 8lb rise to overcome while though Saddlers Deal finished second over these fences in October he never looked like catching the winner. Kind Of Glory remains lightly-raced and has been thereabouts of late. He would have every chance but was entered yesterday at Newbury so DEGOOCH gets the nod back over today's trip. Disappointing over 2m last time, he had earlier run Gevrey Chamberlin, rated 129, close in a novice chase at Bangor.
