TOT OF THE KNAR gets a valuable mares allowance and she can prove too good for Donaldson and Sendani. The selection was good enough to win off a mark as high as 133 over hurdles and was back in the winner's enclosure at this track last time out. Trainer Tim Vaughan is in great form of late and with further improvement still to come our selection should take plenty of stopping. Donaldson is the highest rated horse in the race with an official rating of 134 but he has a double penalty to carry. He won unchallenged at Stratford last time out but this race looks of better quality and at the weights he will have to show improvement. Sendani won at Fakenham in May but was well beaten at Huntingdon last time out. He still warrants respect coming from such a powerful stable but he will have to show improvement on his latest outing. Tot Of The Knar looks well in at the weights and with a clear round she has to go close to winning again.
