Seemingly a lot of deadwood here at first glance and a chance for WEE GIANT, an ex-Willie Mullins inmate to get on the scoreboard for his in-form yard. He was a useful third on the level at Catterick when last seen behind Toughness Danon, prior to which he had scored - also on the Flat - at the North Yorkshire venue. He should be spot on for this return to timber and is preferred to Stickleback, who was sixth in that Catterick contest behind Toughness Danon. The latter has only had the three hurdles' starts and has shown enough to be of interest on this handicap bow. Joe Colliver takes off a useful 5lb. Saddlers Mot is the most consistent member of the field, should certainly be there or thereabouts and rates the obvious each-way option.
