Most can be given a decent chance with the claims of ROMAN FLIGHT at the head of the weights heightened by the success of recent victim, Sharp Rise, off topweight in a really competitive handicap at Uttoxeter over the weekend. The Dennis inmate appears to have relished the move to fences and hopefully can follow in the footsteps of Sharp Rise and defy his burden. Miss Tenacious lives up to her name and the mare is afforded the utmost respect, whilst Casino Markets is going the right way over fences and stuck on well to score here when last seen. Ink Master is held by reopposing rivals and Turn Over Sivola has become a talented frustration. Upsanddowns revealed chasing promise in novice company back in May and could be an outsider of note with conditions to suit.
