Ruddy Article has already won three times between the flags so was always going to make a better chaser than hurdler. His second to The Tourard Man over course and distance earlier this month was much more like it and he looks a real threat to EASY STREET's hopes of a hat-trick. However, we'll stick with Jonjo O'Neill's Fontwell and Uttoxeter winner as he'll handle the easier ground and is still improving. All of Jimmy The Jetplane's victories under Rules have come on good going but he'll strip fitter for his second at Uttoxeter. Horace Hazel and Weyburn both make their chasing debuts and would need a smart performance to lower the colours of their more experienced rivals.
