Marsh Court bounced back to form at Taunton last month and is still on a decent mark, despite being 9lb higher here. It's a long time since Jamie Snowden's mare has raced over the minimum trip, however, and she may find herself outpaced around this sharp track. Coach Lane doesn't look the force of old but Guns Of Love has been in good form this winter and won over C&D last season. LANEGUY was having only his fourth start over fences when winning by nine lengths at Taunton last week and, despite the penalty, is fancied to follow up here and much preferred to Roudoudou Ville who disappointed at Carlisle in October and hasn't been seen since.
