If this was a Flat race Oasis Knight would probably be odds-on but he doesn't take a cut at his hurdles and has been most disappointing since landing a modest contest at Market Rasen last July. AP McCoy partners stablemate Zama Zama who has a chance, however, while Katchmore was in terrific form when last seen but was raised a further 14lb after winning at Exeter in March. Salontyre has won on the Flat since finishing second to Shoegazer at Chepstow and is one for the short-list but this may be too tough for four-year-olds High Samana and Ugo. THE STRAWBERRY ONE was very highly tried last season but it's less than a year since she ran Westlin' Winds to a short-head in a Class 2 contest at Market Rasen and she's 11lb lower now. David Arbuthnot's useful mare could be worth a bet here.
