Most of these have been around the block a few times and are seeking a new start in hunter chases. Pentiffic only had nine rivals when winning this last year and may struggle to stage a repeat. Bobcatbilly produced a shocking effort when favourite at Kelso and only did marginally better when beaten a long way into third at Leicester on Friday while Out Now and Kings Grey are both badly out of form. FREDO only found one to good on his reappearance at Musselburgh and should strip fitter today. Farmer Matt could also go well and Nowurhurlin often makes the frame, as he did at Musselburgh last month.
