CASH AND GO had smart form over hurdles, winning three times and with a placed effort in a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree last April a highlight. He's changed stables and only had two to beat over fences at Leicester last week but did it nicely and is a decent prospect. Crazy Jack won a maiden chase here last May but blundered his chance away at Doncaster last month where he broke a blood vessel. Winning bumper Couldhavehaditall hasn't progressed as expected though this could be his best trip while Houseparty and Femme D'espere are plating class over timber.
