Accordingtoscript won here and at Carlisle over hurdles in the autumn but hasn't raced over fences for 18 months. Gin Cobbler has been knocking on the door in small fields but BRUNELLO won at Catterick the last time he raced in this grade and is fancied to get back on track. My Friend George may be the danger as he was well backed last time at Hexham and looks to be on a fair mark at present with Another Dimension the type to do better once he gets a bit more experience over fences. Pistol Basc and Saddle Pack may be the pick of the remainder.
