Dequall won over a longer trip at Kelso in March and was third on a return visit. He was just over a length behind runner-up Wakool but is slightly better off at the weights so there may not be much between them here. Cage Of Fear was second back over hurdles at Wincanton but had no chance against an easy winner. Shaws Bridge has gone up 7lb for a comfortable success over 2m4f here last month and ROCK THE HOUSE (NAP) looks better treated as he’s only been raised 4lb for scoring at Huntingdon, where he was confidently ridden – the third has already franked that form. Pitempton Power has placed the last twice and a further step up in trip should suit.
