Suffice finished runner-up at Uttoxeter last time but was only a length in front of Kingston and that pair are hard to separate. Hes Our Robin posted a better effort when third at Worcester but has now had 27 attempts over hurdles without success and TIDAL WATCH is preferred. The latter was having his first start over hurdles since wind surgery when placed at Southwell last month and Jonjo O’Neill’s charge can go close with further progress expected. Lord Fendale has tumbled down the weights this year and will be sharper for a recent outing at Uttoxeter.
