Serjeant Painter should go close again, despite carrying a penalty, as he won easily over track and trip a week ago. Red Maple represents last year’s winning yard and makes his chasing debut only 4lb higher than when scoring over hurdles last month while First Revolution would have a shout of taking part but was due to run at Cartmel yesterday. But WHERES MAUD GONE posted an improved effort when runner-up at Market Rasen on her chasing debut and first start in today’s combination of headgear and she gets the vote.
