Well beaten over fences last time, Mystifiable has a shout on his earlier second over timber at Uttoxter. But AT RECEPTION won a maiden hurdle over track and trip in March and ran well for third on his handicap debut here last time. With McCoy taking over the reins for this, he gets the vote. Tinseltown wasn't beaten that far at Wetherby in October and was placed on the Flat recently. The latter should go well along with Bob's Legend, who won a selling hurdle at Stratford in March. Fearless Leader is 6lb higher than his win over fences in September while The Purchaser is one of the less exposed.
