Only a couple arrive with a recent run to their name including Island Heights, who finished unplaced at Haydock on Friday. He can't be ruled out if turning up as the best of his hurdling form does bring him into contention. Cloudy Too reverts to timber but MOIDORE is taken to defy top weight for a yard which enjoyed a good winner at Market Rasen on Thursday. His best performance last season came over this trip on heavy ground at Bangor and a similar effort would see him go close. Lower Hope Dandy was runner-up that day and is nearly a stone better off here so is an obvious threat but the winner can confirm placings. Tambura is pleasingly consistent and will be involved if ready for her reappearance.
