Heros was well beaten at Ludlow on Monday. CASPERS COURT is best on quick ground so wouldn't want more rain but he followed a course and distance success with a very convincing all-the-way victory at Exeter and can defy a 7lb rise. Cluain Aodha fnished runner-up four times in succession on good ground last summer and finally got off the mark on soft going at Warwick last month. She's 6lb higher tough should get into contention but potential supporters of the easy Huntingdon winner Seelotmorebusiness would need to forgive a poor run over this track and trip in February. Good News won five times over timber last year and lost a shoe when well beaten at Fontwell on Boxing Day.
