Call The Detective was second in a four-runner race at Ffos Las last month but never threatened the winner. High Ron has won five times over fences, including twice here on heavy ground. He must have every chance while Mogestic has yet to finish out of the frame in a bumper and two hurdle races. Winning pointer Glenwood Star was pulled up on his debut under Rules but is capable of better, though may struggle to get the better of DELGANY DEMON. Neil King's six-year-old has yet to prove he stays this far but he'll handle conditions better than most and his latest third at Towcester is the best form on offer.
