No Loose Change won at Fontwell earlier this year before being pulled up in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. But he was disappointing when only third at Ascot last month and has left Paul Nicholls' yard since. TUGBOAT did well to beat Rockiteer at Ludlow earlier this month and that's the best form on offer in this. He can get the better of Foynes Island, ahead of Gale Force Oscar when second at Wincanton at the start of the month. Locked Inthepocket and Parkam Jack need to improve on their recent form in point-to-points to figure.
