TREGARO is a dual course and distance winner and travelled well for a long way off his new mark at Uttoxeter last week after winning at Market Rasen the time before. He makes more appeal than the generally disappointing Dunowen Point and Strumble Head, who has been racing over further lately and may get outpaced around here. Sudski Star dispelled any stamina doubts over this distance when winning a three-runner race over hurdles at Bangor last month but Patrick Griffin still hasn't had a winner here.
