Box Office has been a huge disappointment while Boss In Boots was struggling when last seen in a handicap, though is still preferred to stablemate Time And Again. DEALING RIVER beat a subsequent winner easily here in July and was racing over hurdles for the first time in two years when only fifth later at Market Rasen. Back over the larger obstacles, Caroline Bailey's charge can recoup losses even though Stratford second Enjoy Responsibly is getting closer and holds Modeligo on the form book. Upsanddowns is still a maiden over fences so looks to have plenty of weight, though has shown promise.
