Recent winners OSCAR NOMINATION and Mercer's Troop could be the pair to concentrate on in this. Preference is for the former, who only won by a short-head at Market Rasen but attracted significant market support on only his fourth run over hurdles and should continue heading in the right direction. The bottom weight won’t be far away, however, as he’s shown marked improvement since wind surgery. Dylan Browne takes 7lb off Irish raider Montys Angel and Panic And Run looks to be improving. Passing Oceans may be best of the rest.
