TURF WAR will need to put a very disappointing effort when strongly fancied here a fortnight ago behind him but he'd made a promising return behind Tribes And banner here earlier and gets another chance in a moderate contest. Bemo Two has plenty of experience over fences but has won only once in 18 starts while Hairy Molly is another long-time maiden who hasn't fulfilled potential. Pom Flyer is another disappointing type so the main threat may be Prince Of Leisure, who hasn't run since October but who has shown an aptitude for the bigger obstacles.
