KUBLAI is the obvious one here as he’s thrown in on his best form and almost took advantage of that tumbling mark when just beaten at Newton Abbot last week. Frozen Over looks held on that run but could have each-way claims with a leading amateur booked. Dealing River is better known as a chaser but has won four times over hurdles and Bring Back Charlie was only beaten half-a-length over track and trip last month, though is 4lb higher now.
