The Ferbane Man beat the odds-on Adept Approach at Parham last month but the runner-up could reverse those placings here. Recent rain probably hasn't helped Larkhill winner Little Chip and he probably has a bit to find at the weights with JOIN TOGETHER. Rose Loxton's stayer appears to have the beating of Carruthers, Charles Bruce and Karinga Dandy on their run together in a Cheltenham four-miler last time as he handles all types of going.
