Pepperoni Pete, Woolcombe Folly and Chaninbar all boast recent winning form with the consistent Woolcombe Folly taken to collect. Pepperoni Pete has ability and showed it when scoring last time, albeit in claiming class. He is a versatile performer and has recent chase wins to his credit. His confidence may have been restored by his win last time, but his last attempt at this level resulted in disappointment and he is opposed. Chaninbar is another who has switched between both codes with some success and he picked up his first hurdling success last time. That came in a novice contest, but he is well treated and looks a major player here. Woolcombe Folly was scoring for the second time when winning at Wincanton last time. He travelled well on the bit that day and this consistent type looks on the upgrade. Woolcombe Folly can confirm the good impression he left last time.
