Finalshot is 0-11 over fences and needs forgiving a poor run at Newton Abbot last time. CHECK MY PULSE is 3lb lower than when successful at Carlisle last autumn and he’s had a pipe-opener on the Flat since his third at Perth. Sea Prince showed some promise on his chasing bow and should be capable of better but Magic Mike was tailed off on his only previous try over fences. Prospect House only placed twice over hurdles and showed little in points before that but Three Platoon should make a chaser.
