Chaser Cloudy Too can race off a 10lb lower mark over hurdles and could be interesting as he stays well and has won here in the past. Secret Door tries a new trip under Rules but wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Market Rasen in May after earlier wins at Ludlow and Haydock. Aengus was also on a hat-trick here in March but found a leap in the ratings too much to cope with. NO HASSLE HOFF has a touch of class and can give Dan and Harry Skelton a quick double in only his second run in a handicap. His first was in a tough Grade 3 at Aintree in April.
