Steel Summit completed his four-timer with a very easy victory on this track in January but shot up the weights as a consequence and has been unable to cope in subsequent starts. Frizzo scored twice in November but hasn't shown much since while The Society Man is still to score over fences after 21 starts. Crazy Jack broke a blood vessel when unseating his rider at Doncaster in February and was beaten a long way when runner-up at Towcester last month. He may be best watched for now so a chance is taken on OSCATARA, a winning point-to-pointer who hasn't had much experience over regulation fences but has a bit more scope than these rivals.
