Caddyhill won over track and trip last autumn with subsequent Hereford winner Away At Dawn well behind in second. The latter may come out best this time as he drops back down in distance but Bulldoze was still beaten a long way when second of four runners here last time. FEEL THE PINCH makes his debut over fences but is due to be raised 4lb for a recent victory over hurdles at Bangor and a chance is taken Fergal O’Brien’s charge takes to the larger obstacles.
