Willandrich returns to hurdling on a decent mark after winning over fences at Leicester and Uttoxeter. Vincitore looks to be improving and now tackles handicap company following his latest success at Exeter while Nicene Creed is gradually slipping to a decent mark. Silver Accord wouldn't be without a chance while Mr Supreme and Andreo Bambaleo come here off the back of recent wins at Hexham. Livvy Inn was second at Haydock last month but MARKINGTON appears to have plenty in his favour today, not least the fact that he scored over this C&D last year on similar going - a return to form here is a distinct possibility.
