Bang On Time's jockey could afford to ease him down in the closing stages when winning at Newton Abbot last time. He should figure again despite a 7lb rise but Trafficker failed to cope off an 8lb higher mark at Market Rasen having won at the same track earlier. I'm In Charge landed a double over these fences in October and a recent third here suggests he can win off today's mark but ETHELRED (NAP) looks ready to strike. The latter could not prevent Tribal Dance recording a double at Plumpton a fortnight ago when making his chasing debut but was clear of the rest and can open his account in this.
