Brother Tedd is in the veteran stage now and not the force of old. Generation Gap has more to do than when successful at Exeter five weeks ago but Ludlow scorer Rock On Rocco should go well and it would be no surprise to see the potentially well-treated Rose Sea Has in the firing-line following a break. HAZZAAR is built to jump fences and already looks a better chaser than hurdler. He won more easily than the official margin suggests at Warwick and should cope with a 4lb rise. Do Wanna Know has run much better the last twice and could be a danger with a clear round.
