MORESTEAD is perfectly at home in the mud and has gone close the last twice. He drops down a grade after a recent length defeat at Fontwell and Tony McCoy can steer him to victory. Decent Lord got no further than the first fence last time but has a shout on his earlier fourth at Catterick. Teenage Dream is another dropped in class but today's ground may not be to his liking, while Cooldine Run has been placed over hurdles at this track but that was on fast going.
