Harry's Farewell goes well fresh but was only third in this last year when 6lb lower. Port Melon won a novices' handicap over track and trip in November but ran no sort of race when tailed off at Exeter following a break and finished behind Wizards Bridge. Present View had a confidence-booster over hurdles last month but has been disappointing on the whole this season and The Italian Yob is hard to catch right. LOOSE CHIPS hasn't managed a win this season but has been second three times and doesn't look badly treated at present. He's won around herein the past and may be ready to strike. Cloudy Bob won over course and distance last month but couldn't cope off a 9lb higher mark next time at Haydock.
