Four of these won last time, though Tomahawk Wood has a lengthy absence to overcome. Cabragh barely saw another rival over a longer trip at Sedgefield but MAXED OUT KING was probably even more impressive at the same track last week. The latter has another half-mile to travel here but that shouldn’t be a problem and Sue Smith’s charge is taken to double his tally. Casual Cavalier got off the mark at Kelso last month but is still fitted with cheekpieces to try and find further improvement. Grand Enterprise could figure if taking to fences while Achill Road Boy was third at Hexham last month, though has plenty of weight for what he’s achieved.
