A P McCoy keeps faith with Maria's Choice, even though Jim Best's charge has been raised 5lb since failing to justify strong market support at Plumpton at the start of the month. He's lightly raced over hurdles and is one of the more likely winners of this but we are going to give another chance to ROLLING DOUGH. The mare was third in a slightly stronger contest at Ludlow last time and this track is similar in nature. Amazing Scenes was well beaten on his reappearance at Southwell but is capable of better but In The Crowd and Echo Foxtrot have had plenty of chances. Worldor is starting to come down the weights and looks the pick of the remainder.
