OVERLAW gets the vote here ahead of She's Humble and Incorporation. Tom George's eight-year-old has been given a mini-break since a solid third to Ere Alfie at Taunton. He is yet to win over fences but has put in some solid efforts and with his jockey able to claim a valuable 10lbs he is narrowly preferred. Kinkeel is a course-and-distance winner and he tends to jump around in grade; he might find this easier than the Game Spirit Chase he was fifth in last time out. Sparkling Taff has put in two fair efforts, including behind Ray Mond here last time out, since the cheek-pieces went on in January, whilst Incorporation needs a market check as he returns from 116 days off the track. She's Humble is 5lb higher than her last winning mark at Huntingdon, Troodos Jet is normally solid enough but is held by Kinkeel on their run here last month, whilst Night Reveller drops in grade. An open start to the card, and preference is for Overlaw.
