ROLL THE DOUGH won a maiden between the flags at Easingwold in April and has since joined Philip Hobbs, who won this in 2011 with similar chasing type. Viaduct Jack has also won a point-to-point and Kim Bailey had the winner in 2013 while Always Lion won a bumper here just over a year ago and went on to run well in decent company - he'll be thereabouts if he stays. Guiting Power has plenty of scope as he starts out over hurdles but Corner Creek was well beaten on his hurdles bow at Doncaster in January.
