Mamba ran very well when just touched off by Lerida at Huntingdon but was never travelling when pulled up at Southwell and is best watched. Chilla Cilla has had real problems with her jumping but ran very well when beaten narrowly here at the end of December and would be a threat if staying on her feet. ONE MORE DINAR is another who has problems at the fences but has produced some decent efforts when completing the course. He started favourite when unshipping his rider at Leicester last time, when Red Law eventually finished third, but an earlier effort at Bangor gives him a fine chance here. Marsh Court is probably good enough at his best though he's a long-time absentee.
