CLOUDY DAWN didn't stay 3m1f at Market Rasen last time. Sue Smith's winning pointer has only had three starts over fences under Rules so may be capable of a little better and can take advantage of an ease in the weights today. Winged Farasi has fallen in two of three previous starts over the larger obstacles, while C&D winner Archie's Wish is probably still a shade high in the weights and Springaway was put up 9lb after winning a lesser contest at Stratford. King Penda returns from a lay-off but still has a bit of scope and can't be ignored.
