Cougar Kid’s last win came around here off a 4lb higher mark but he’s on a long losing run. Eaglehill will be fancied to go one better than at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and give the JP McManus team a pre-Cheltenham boost, though he has been raised 5lb. DALAMAN has been lightly raced since joining Rebecca Curtis but should be approaching peak fitness now and he ran well at Uttoxeter in January in a race that’s worked out well, despite finding 2m too short.
