Lake Chapala has won both starts so far over fences since joining Chris Gordon but is 0-21 over hurdles. Calling Des Blins had decent bumper form but has been a major disappointment over timber, though makes her handicap debut. Tiradia has won twice here but so has JACKTHEJOURNEYMAN and he’s looking particularly well treated back over hurdles after a spell chasing. Irish Hawke has no recent worthwhile form but will have needed his reappearance at Towcester and his yard is going well now.
