Having already won three times over fences, it’s difficult to look beyond SIR TIVO (NAP) as he was a bit unlucky when only second off this mark at Bangor last month. Cheekpieces replace the usual hood on Away At Dawn but major improvement is required while the maiden Right Destination finished last in a seller over hurdles at Newton Abbot earlier this month. You Say Nothing won twice over hurdles in Ireland but has more than his fair share of weight in this.
