Four of these have landed a prize in the past month, of which NOTHING IS FOREVER makes most appeal for a follow-up success. The nine-year-old hacked up at Wincanton on his first start for Chris Down, justifying strong market support in the process. Punished with a 17lb rise for that success, he still appeals as being well treated on the back of best form from the past.Trip and track will be ideal. Lord Of The Dunes gained a first hurdling success at Taunton and is another likely to appreciate this sharp circuit and there should be more to come from him after a handful of runs with Tony McCoy booked. Party Palace is a fair dual purpose sort for Stuart Howe and should go well despite a 6lb rise for a comfortable Exeter success but Titch Strider may find this trip rather too sharp as his recent success arrived over much further.
