Several recent winners lock horns. Worcester winner Jaunty Soria and course and distance winner Rare Clouds have both been raised 6lb while DUKE OF LUCKLEY (NAP) has a 9lb hike to contend with after winning with plenty in hand here last time. But the latter is helped on that score by Finn Lambert’s allowance and should go close again representing last year’s winning stable. Samos Island’s earlier success at Huntingdon came in a maiden hurdle and Presenting Pete is preferred on a second here in April.
