This looks too short for Hexham third Event Of Sivola but recent Catterick winner Tango Boy was a course and distance winner back in October. However, the penny appeared to be dropping with the lightly-raced ANGLERS CRAG at Chepstow last time and he could be a bit of value in a wide-open handicap with Mad About Sally let down by her jumping at Fakenham when trying 3m for the first time. Gentleman De Mai can build on his second at Hexham against more experienced rivals and Not Sure has already won at Hereford and Uttoxeter since the turn of the year. Post Chaise may need to drop a few more pounds before hitting the winning trail again while Hotel Du Nord is penalised for winning a veterans’ chase at Wincanton.
