Barodine beat an odds-on favourite who downed tools in a three-runner seller at Lingfield last time and the form cannot be trusted. Escardo has been placed over shorter trips here of late and could go well, however, and Olivino had been in good form over hurdles before finishing second at Lingfield last time. However, a tentative vote goes to BARRA RAIDER as he's the least exposed in the field and may have improved since finishing third at Catterick back in September.
