Thirtyfourstitches isn’t the best of jumpers but has still managed to win five races, including one over the course and distance. He was still just in front when falling on his hat-trick bid at Fakenham but probably paid the price for several earlier mistakes. ONE FOR YOU won over the track and trip a year ago and his most recent runs have been in better company than this so can get back on the winning trail. Winds Of Fire has been chasing, scoring at Newcastle in November, but he would have a chance on his last run over timber when runner-up at Cheltenham in April. Made For You has managed to win four times over timber but appears best with some give in the ground.
