Leath Acra Mor won over fences at Fontwell in August but was beaten 36 lengths in a similar race to this at Southwell earlier this month and is now tried in a visor. He may struggle to give 11lb to TOO GENEROUS if David Pipe's is anywhere her best. That wasn't the case at Exeter earlier this month but she probably needed that. Rock Relief was fourth in a handicap at Sedgefield last time under Diarmuid O'Regan and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of veteran Cool Operator and Montaff, who has gone downhill on the Flat this year.
