LE TOTO could be worth a second glance at the likely odds of reward. Oliver Sherwood's charge has placed off this mark in the past and provided that the ground does not go too soft, he makes some appeal versus some of the sexier types. Play A Cord has been consistent during the summer and lost no caste in defeat at Fontwell. The handicapper has been a little hard in allocating her a further 6lb rise for his troubles. Pool Of Knowledge is relatively unexposed under the National Hunt code but ran a promising race on the flat at Newbury last week. Helieorbea has dropped massively in the weights whilst the booking of Richard Johnson aboard Quidam Blue has to be considered to be a big positive.
