LAMPS is on the small side to be jumping fences and was soon struggling on his reappearance at Ffos Las. But he won three times over hurdles earlier this year and, though yet to score over 3m, could be too good for these at the weights. Leath Acra Mor won over fences at Fontwell in August but is also useful over hurdles and looks a danger while Gud Day has been knocking on the door lately in sellers and claimers. He finished nine lengths ahead of Debt To Society at Stratford two runs ago but the latter enjoys a big turnaround in the weights and could turn the tables. What An Oscar went off too quickly at Ffos Las last month and should do better here if ridden with more restraint.
