Less than a length separated Claude Carter and Snooker at Kelso last month and both are previous course and distance winners. So Bazaar had the measure of Jebulani when fourth at Kelso last week but has yet to win in 16 starts over timber and winning chaser Brave Spartacus is also winless over timber. Deny makes more appeal despite returning from an absence given he scored off a similar mark over track and trip last August but OPERATEUR gets a tentative vote to defy an 11lb rise and go in again. He opened his account over hurdles with an easy win at Uttoxeter last time.
