Balleticon started out with a fine run in a bumper on this track though that was in 2018 and he hasn't run since a disappointing effort in January last year. Cossack Dancer is certain to improve from his run in a Newbury bumper last month but this can go to MOCACREME HAS. Colin Tizzard's charge travelled nicely throughout when a close second to the short-priced Press Your Luck at Uttoxeter and can go one better. The Hoax looks a threat on his hurdling debut second at Taunton where he made a bold bid to lead all the way.
