Emma Lavelle's chasers are always worth as second look on Town Moor and Global Warming has been thereabouts when completing. Unfortunately, he's failed to finish in five of his eight starts over the larger obstacles. Danandy also looks a risky proposition at present, as does course and distance winner Honest John, but Deciding Moment could have scope for further improvement though hasn't raced since winning a novices' handicap at Wincanton in October. Categorical looks the pick of Keith Reveley's pair and has place claims again along with Sail And Return and Tickatack but IFYOUSAYSO's victory at Leicester has been franked and Tom George's lightly-raced seven-year-old can follow up here despite an 8lb rise.
