Most have yet to race over fences but MAC CENNETIG won at Market Rasen on his chasing bow and went close again on good ground at Sedgefield last time so it could pay to stick with Micky Hammond’s charge. Pardon Me returns to action having won over timber at Newton Abbot back in May while The Dawn Man was placed over hurdles here in March. Snowy Oscar has the more recent form over the smaller obstacles having placed at Huntingdon on his comeback while Torrent Des Mottes finished runner-up over course and distance earlier in the year but has struggled since.
