Urabamba ran his best race of the season last month when third at Taunton while Obey The Rules won in a higher grade at Leicester and is only 3lb higher. Forget You Not had a pipe-opener over hurdles last month and is the only previous course winner in the line-up but Dime Store Cowgirl is best watched making her fencing bow. FLASH GORCOMBE (NAP) landed a gamble at Taunton and should be capable of defying a 6lb rise.
