Samson bolted up over track and trip last time but has been hit with a 10lb rise. Cheekpieces finally persuaded Overtoujay to put his head in front at Market Rasen last month and he’s only 2lb higher but easy Southwell scorer POLARBROOK is still at the right end of the handicap, despite a penalty, and Brian Hughes can steer Derek Shaw’s stayer to back-to-back victories. Ballyandrew makes his handicap debut but has shown very little so far but Buckontupence was closing on the winner when blundering at the last at Fakenham and could be a decent each-way bet.
