Onehundredpercent has returned a losing favourite on his last three outings while Be The Difference remains 11lb higher than when scoring at Ayr in November. Kajaki placed over a shorter trip at Newcastle last time but Fightfortheroses finally opened his account over hurdles when winning over 2m4f here and is preferred to stablemate Cash Again. HUNGRY TIGER found one too good at Catterick last month when back over the smaller obstacles but this looks a slightly easier task and George Bewley’s charge may prove the one to side with.
