SNOWBALL had been threatening to win for some time before finally doing so at Huntingdon. He's 6lb higher but this looks no tougher so a follow-up looks on the cards. Ordensritter looks a threat after two good runs over the trip at Ludlow and he's gone well here in the past as has Comical Red, though he's hardly one to trust after failing to finish in six of his last ten starts. The Last Bridge has won here in the past and is quite well handicapped if ready after a break but Double Accord looks more of a threat. She was having only her fourth run over timber when runner-up over much shorter here last month and with the longer trip likely to suit she can make her presence felt.
