Mcvicar had Sirpertan behind when second at Southwell last month and has since been placed over hurdles at Sedgefield. Prayer Time is only a pound higher than when winning narrowly at Southwell last month but he still has plenty to prove on Turf. Cape Hideaway won over a much shorter trip here in 2014 but has shown little since. Stormin Tom could benefit from Rachel Richardson's claim but ALMUTAMARRED can recoup losses incurred when a beaten favourite on Fibresand with the switch in surface expected to suit.
