Whats Up Woody was a little disappointing on his debut over fences at Chepstow and may need more time. Aghill should go well, however, having got off the mark over the larger obstacles at the first time of asking. Rose Dobbin's charge is 8lb higher here but Mark Quinlan's claim negates most of that and he jumped well at Musselburgh. Double Default has been placed in two of his four starts over fences but Do It For Dalkey has something to prove after being pulled up at Newcastle last month. BLED has been struggling under penalties in novice hurdles of late so it's no surprise Donald McCain is switching him to fences. The six-year-old won on heavy going at Uttoxeter in November so will handle the ground here and is handicapped to go close if his jumping proves up to scratch.
