Brian Ellison has his team in good order and, as a result, serious consideration has to be given to Global who is open to improvement as he has his third start over hurdles and first in handicap company. Farleigh House faces his first realistic task since making a winning debut over obstacles and is worth noting but preference is for HI DANCER. Ben Haslam's charge has been running well on the Flat, ran out a ready winner over course and distance on his most recent start over obstacles and can make light of his revised mark. Amir Pasha comes here in good form and is respected accordingly, Holiday Cocktail may have benefited from getting his head in front in a seller whilst Knight In Purple and Bywell Beau are worth noting for signs of market confidence.
