Minella For Party ran out of steam at Towcester on his return from a lay-off and faded back into fourth. Better is expected here, but ROCKCHASEBULLETT may prove too good. The latter was having only his second start over fences when scoring easily over track and trip a fortnight ago and is fancied to follow-up despite a hike in the weights. Tony Dinozzo has plenty to find with the selection but Southwell third Scampi Boy could figure on his return to action. Sonofagun has been running well over hurdles and makes his chasing debut along with No Duffer.
