Tsundoku has had a run on the Flat but Too Much To Ask might need this. It’s a long time since Wolfcatcher last ran over hurdles but it will be interesting to see if there is any money for Jackie Stephens’ charge, who is rated higher over fences. Ballyfarsoon and Ormesher are entitled to be thereabouts on their best form and Jimmy Moffatt’s runners are always worth a second look here and Native Fighter had a pipe-opener at Hamilton. Mega Double ran at Uttoxeter on Thursday and Chocolat Noir finished second at Southwell at the start of the month but the handicapper has given a real chance to ARTHURS SECRET and Sandy Thomson’s charge could edge a competitive finale at a decent price.
