KARINGREASON has been knocking on the door lately and, though starting to edge up the weights again, can get back to winning ways with neither the trip nor going a problem. He had Carrietau behind here last time in a race in which Kent Street started favourite only to make a hash of the second fence and be pulled up. The latter could be dangerous with a clear round but Alpha One's jumping often lets him down and Peachey Moment returns from a lengthy absence under a welter burden. Border Reiver and On Gossamer Wings aren't badly treated but neither are prolific winners.
Peachey Moment (USA) 10-1 (10-2) Held up behind, headway after 4 out, weakened from 2 out, 8th of 16, 24l behind Benny Be Good (11-8) at Market Rasen 2m 6f listed hcp chs (1) gd in Sep.
