Oscar Hill made hard work of landing a similar race at Taunton to complete his double and has to concede lumps of weight all round. It may prove beyond him and NOT TIL MONDAY, who was winning a Class 3 at this time a year ago and is fit from the Flat, should be good enough to return to winning ways. Tarkari alternates between hurdles and fences and is better over these obstacles so has to be a threat despite the ground possibly proving too testing. Unwanted Gift should prove best of the remainder.
