Ladykiller is penalised and upped in class after winning at Uttoxeter last week while Motion In Limine scored at Southwell back in June. But OSCAR MONTEL has gone close in higher grade contests over fences here recently and Charlie Longsdon’s charge is taken to make a bold bid back over the smaller obstacles. Market Rasen runner-up Wall Of Fame has a shout with blinkers applied for this while Cawthorne Lad is another to consider in an open contest.
