Mumaris opened his account over fences at Newcastle in April and made all to win over CD last week by 11/2 lengths from Woodwind Down who had won here previously and who is now 7lbs better off and can turn the tables, especially as he was closing strongly on the run-in. Sorrento King was 15 lengths away third and looks held. Toshiba Times netted his only won over hurdles on this track last September but has not raced since finishing second here in October and best watched on his chase debut. Free Will has been placed on the flat this summer, but Schemer could manage only second in a selling hurdle at Southwell latest. Jamorin Dancer has made the frame in chases recently and should do so again.
