The veteran Miami Present won here way back in 2017 and was scoring for the first time since when successful at Fakenham. He has an 11lb hike to contend with, however, and Paseo posted a better effort at Bangor having tumbled down the weights. The Vollan and Shiroccan Roll are others looking to exploit a slide down the handicap but ZOFFALEE is getting closer to winning his first chase and this drop back in distance can see him go one better having gone close over these fences last time.
