Henryville is easily the pick of the weights on his best form but he has been on a downward spiral for a while over fences and it remains to be seen if he’ll enjoy going back over timber. JIMMY RABBITTE, a four-times winner over hurdles, was a disappointing favourite at Market Rasen last time but can recoup losses dropping into a claimer ahead of Candy Burg, who has a better strike-rate over fences but is no slouch in this sphere if in the mood. Adjutant has never raced over a trip this far and this track is quite stiff.
