Call To Arms' second to Rajnagan in a handicap at Uttoxeter last month was boosted when the winner scored again here last week but Peter Bowen's four-year-old has had plenty of chances and could find one or two of these have a bit more scope. Beau Fighter is also becoming disappointing while Coolagad Wonder was beaten in a Wetherby claimer on his hurdling debut, though should improve for the experience. Flat winner Jezza didn't appear to stay a longer trip at Uttoxeter last time and makes more appeal than stablemate Yellow Duke and last month's C&D second Misstaysia, though Victor Dartnall's five-year-old finished behind Togiak at Fontwell previously. POINT BLANK is making his hurdles bow but showed promise in three bumper runs and will probably handle this ground better than most - he gets a tentative vote with AP McCoy in the plate.
