TIME OUT is an unoriginal selection but has scored twice here in completing his hat-trick and goes very well on the prevailing conditions. He's taken really well to fences and remains progressive and can successfully handle a 16lb rise for his three wins. Kilkenny All Star is actually weighted to reverse placings with the selection on Catterick running on New Years Day but didn't run up to form last time whereas the selection progressed again. Indian Groom showed up quite nicely at Newcastle in mid-December and further improvement would not surprise. Quite The Man is rather in-and-out this term but has claims at best whilst Border Reiver, fairly weighted here, always reserves his best for Wetherby.
