Dickie Henderhoop was well supported when coming to grief here last time but he's still a maiden after 19 starts over timber. Ancient Times ran quite well at Catterick last time but he's yet to prove he stays anywhere near this trip unlike Legbeforewicket, who may be better over further. Dundock has the ability to win this though a long absence is off-putting and his stablemate North Brook hasn't shown much to date. SYDNEY COVE won a handicap at Hexham in November from just 3lb lower and might just be good enough in what looks a very poor contest where the betting should be monitored.
