A dual winner in novice company, Getaround struggled in a Grade 2 hurdle at Chepstow last time but should figure on his handicap debut. But the more experienced AS I SEE IT returned to action with a good effort in a higher grade handicap at Uttoxeter and Harry Fry’s charge looks worth sticking with in this. Robin Gold bids for a hat-trick raised 8lb having won over a shorter trip here last month while Potters Hedger is also 8lb higher on his reappearance having ended last season with a victory at Warwick.
