Flying Squad won over fences here last month but doesn't look particularly well handicapped back over timber. Uncle Keef probably isn't one of Nicky Henderson's stable stars and has shown little in three runs to date, but there are possibilities about the ex-Irish Duneen Point and winning pointer Charming Lad on their first start in handicap company. Balustrade won over a similar trip at Fontwell three weeks ago and is only 7lb higher, but WISTOW caught the eye on her return from a lay-off at Market Rasen last month and must go close if that hasn't taken too much out of her.
