Hititi returned to the smaller obstacles with a decent effort at Exeter but HARD FROST makes more appeal. The latter was beaten only a neck at Fontwell when fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time and can go one better. William Ewart has undergone a wind operation since disappointing at Hereford while Electric Annie landed a double here last season but has lost her way since. De Wanted Warrior makes his handicap debut with a tongue-tie applied and Copshill Lad is another handicapping for the first time.
