Tim Vaughan has his string in good form right now and Paradise Expected has to be respected having run creditably at Ffos Las last month but he may struggle to give weight away to his rivals with a better bet looking to be PRESENT YOUR CASE, who gets the vote with Rossbrin looking the best of the rest. The selection has yet to open her account but she has shown improved form in maiden hurdles in recent outings, latterly when third behind Romance Dance at Southwell last month and she looks to be reasonably well treated for her first start in a handicap off a mark of 90. Michael Scudamore's Command Marshal has struggled against the handicapper since winning at Newcastle in October, while Simon Earle's Red Not Blue is lightly raced but seems plenty high enough in the weights for what he has achieved. Rossbrin ran much better when chasing home Nono Le Sage over course and distance last week and he has an obvious chance racing off the same mark today but it may be worth taking a chance with Present Your Case on his handicap debut.
