It's no surprise that David Pipe is running FOR 'N' AGAINST (NAP) under a penalty given the manner of his victory at Fontwell last week. This track is different in nature but the six-year-old has improved markedly since upped in distance and a second win looks on the cards. Over The Air may be the danger given he's twice run well over 2m4f here this year and won over 3m at Southwell in October. Highpower didn't really take to fences last time and remains unexposed but From Frost is facing a stiff task at the weights and Sealous Scout, Dr Robin and Bobble Emerald all have a bit prove after their latest runs.
