Nagpur has already raced 13 times over fences without success while chasing debutants Secret Edge, Paintball and Timesawastin boast the highest ratings over hurdles but arrive badly out of form. PROLINX had an off day at Chepstow last time but had gone close over these fences before that and he gets the vote to go one better in this. Cloudy Bob and Midnight Belle have been running well over timber of late and may also get involved on their first start over the larger obstacles.
