Turn Over Sivola finally got off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in the summer but was tailed off on his next start at Newton Abbot and will find it tough giving weight to less-exposed types. The headstrong Hallings Comet looks too high in the handicap while Katachenko is suited by further. Dark Dune is best watched making his chasing bow while It's A Mans World never threatened last time at Carlisle but Pair Of Jacks should do well over the larger obstacles and had a bit in hand when scoring over hurdles at Sedgefield a month ago. SOLAR IMPULSE was clear of Turn Over Sivola when second at Newton Abbot and is sure to have learned plenty from that run - he can go one better today.
