GETABUCK posted his best effort over fences so far when runner-up over a shorter trip here on his first outing after wind surgery. Ali Stronge’s charge looks to have a good opportunity to go one better in a weak handicap. Rock On Tiger has failed to complete either start over fences while Moans Cross has slipped down the weights but hasn’t raced since November. Time To Move On and Royal Ruby make their chasing debuts returning from lay-offs and the former has switched yards.
