The veteran HEVER ROAD will enjoy the ground and won comfortably on his last visit here in November. He's not getting any better but this is a very moderate contest and he's taken to gain victory number six over fences. One More Dinar looks the main threat as he's another who does better on good going. He didn't enjoy the soft conditions at Wincanton last time but is generally consistent and looks certain to be in the shake-up. Ballyvoneen is the youngest in the line-up but doesn't look to have a lot of scope and has finished runner-up too often, both under Rules and between the flags. Heezagrey is back on the same mark as when successful at Worcester last summer and looks best of the remainder.
