Touch Back didn't jump very well at Huntingdon but still got up in the shadows of the post to beat Theatrebar. Tullyesker Hill was tailed off in a better race at Chepstow last time so has a bit to prove now but there are possibilities about recent course and distance winner Garde Fou and CAWDOR HOUSE BERT. The latter was confidently ridden to beat Heavenstown over 2m4f here three weeks ago and the runner-up won at Bangor shortly after. Dai Rees' seven-year-old can follow up.
