Several of these are better known as chasers but are potentially well treated back over the smaller obstacles. One of those is Tears From Heaven, who was fourth to Harris Hawk at Newcastle last time in a race in which the unreliable King Penda was pulled up. FINBIN never got competitive over 3m3f at Sedgefield last time but won this contest in 2009 and was only beaten three lengths 12 months later off a 17lb higher mark. Gemma Gracey-Davison is one of the more experienced ladies riding here and the 10-year-old can recapture the winning thread. Lucy Alexander partners March's Newcastle winner Velvet Vic for Richard Guest and he should also be thereabouts but Oniz Tiptoes may have too much weight.
