In a poor contest, SNOWED IN just about comes out best on his victory at Catterick in January from a 5lb higher mark and he ran a bit better at Kelso last time. The veteran Hi Dancer hasn't had much racing this year and has dropped to a low enough mark to get involved while the four-year-old David John showed some potential on his handicap debut at Worcester. Dalby Spook won on that Flat in August but hasn't shown much over hurdles and Woodstock hasn't run since last summer.
