Plenty of these arrive in winning form including ONE FOR HARRY, who gained his eighth victory over timber when battling to victory at Haydock last month. That could be good enough though Only Orsenfoolsies showed his liking for this sort of trip when scoring at Wetherby on Boxing Day though a 7lb penalty makes things tougher. Plus Jamais won over a longer trip here in February and has subsequently completed a hat-trick with victories over fences. However, he's now on an 11lb higher mark than that success on this course. Rhymers Stone was in excellent form for most of last season and reappeared with a victory at Carlisle in November. He's only 3lb higher so has to be respected along with Seldom Inn, who landed a Listed chase at Kelso in March and reverts to hurdles on an 11lb lower mark than over fences.
