Auldthunder landed a double over fences at Catterick before finding one too good over timber and should be thereabouts again while Askamore Darsi has to be forgiven a poor run last time having recorded a string of good efforts before that, including three wins. But JAC THE LEGEND has been placed in better company than this the last twice and Brian Ellison's charge gets another chance having finished well ahead of Mwaleshi at Sedgfield last time. Scotswell is struggling at present but does stay well.
