Czech Her Out has landed two big-price wins on recent starts, and although respected here is now 13lb higher as a result. Crossing The Bar has landed two of his last three and still appeals as being feasibly weighted. He's one of the more likely ones and is not ground dependent should the rains arrive. Come On Gruff should be all the better for his latest start and this lightly-raced sort could well step forward, especially with Harry Cobden an interesting booking for the Tom George team. Check out Itacare in the market on this first start since wind surgery, but the choice is BALLYCAMUS. He's compiled a decent profile over hurdles, seems to have improved again for the step-up in trip the last twice and has been left on an unchanged mark for his recent Ludlow second.
