Themanfromfraam is one of only two horses trained by permit holder Susan Johnson but son Richard was on board when he was an easy winner at Hereford last week and he's replaced by a claimer here. The 10-year-old also has a 7lb penalty. Hollow Heartbeat is tried in blinkers after disappointing at Fontwell while the drop back in distance may not suit Hereford second Drummers Drumming and Unwanted Gift's victory margin over fences was greatly exaggerated by the ground at Hereford - that was also his first success in 19 attempts. WAIT NO MORE is also better known as a chaser but did score off this mark over the larger obstacles at Taunton in March and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since he last ran over timber. He's preferred to stablemate Maid Of Silk and gets the nod.
