At the 71st attempt, Xpo Universel finally won a race here on Saturday. However, he was all out to do so and has a lot more ground to cover today, though swerves a penalty and Aaron Anderson can claim his full allowance. Toosey also won here on Saturday but that was over fences and he’s rated 8lb higher over hurdles. JUSTATENNER was only beaten a short-head here last month when looking to follow up an earlier win over course and distance. He’s gone up another 5lb but Harry Reed’s allowance is in his favour. Golden Friday could go well eased in grade and the maiden Chocolat Noir also has place claims while What A Game would have an excellent chance on his form here last summer but may just need this.
