Fourth Estate has had a couple of recent runs so may be the pick of the Henderson pair ahead of the returning Courtesy Call but neither appear to be particularly well treated. My Oh Mount Brown won four times last season but is 9lb higher than for his latest victory at Southwell while Dalmo has gone up 10lb since completing his hat-trick at Sedgefield. Oliver's Hill has been beaten at Fontwell since winning at Wetherby and now sports headgear, though is unexposed. REFER has gone up 4lb since a fine second at Cheltenham but Richard Johnson takes over the reins and he has his ground again. The four-year-old might be the one to beat.
