Pure Poteen fell at the second here last week when sent off favourite. He needs to settle better but has every chance of gaining compensation if doing so. Mission Complete let supporters down at Warwick after a couple of good runs at Bangor but is another with decent claims but Forresters Folly has two ways of running and Wicklewood rarely performs away from Towcester. BROTHER SCOTT should have won before now over fences but only found one too good stepped up in distance at Kelso last time and is worth one more chance, though Generous Chief is a danger back in the right grade.
