Feast Of Fire has new connections after leaving Jonjo O'Neill and ran very well over a longer trip at Catterick last month. Winning bumper Murtys Delight has shown the occasional glimpses of form and could be suited by this quicker ground and Hurraboru definitely will though he has a long absence to overcome. Divers has reverted to hurdling on a low mark though hasn't been able to take advantage but Hartside won here in November and though he's 8lb higher his rider claims most of that back. South Stack was in reasonable form at this time a year ago but is 16lb higher than his last victory so all roads appear to lead to SUMMERLEA. Micky Hammond's charge had been threatening to win a race for some time before finally doing so at Catterick. Kent Street was strongly fancied at Southwell a fortnight ago but could only stay on at one pace over the shorter trip.
