Pheidias has already won a couple of times around here over fences and would have decent claims if his latest run over C&D were ignored. Forever My Friend was second off a higher mark at Exeter in November and is another to consider while Medic Man and Mudita Moment only found one too good at Ffos Las and Warwick respectively recently. Definite Lady wore blinkers when successful at Wincanton but the normal cheekpieces are back on here and she may be worth opposing with WELL METT. Now visored, Lucy Wadham's charge was never travelling when favourite for a conditionals' race at Huntingdon last month but is much better than that and deserves another chance in this lower grade.
