BOB LEWIS is having his first start over fences but is worth chancing given today's opposition arrives in such poor form. Stuart Kittow's charge was placed over hurdles at Worcester on his return from a lengthy absence. Adios Alonso was still thereabouts when falling over these fences last time and Breezy Kin made the frame on a couple of occasions back in June. Shady Glen was not beaten far at Uttoxeter before disappointing at Sedgefield but it's hard to make a case for any of the remainder.
