A winner at Exeter last month, CAVE TOP ran well again when second at Bangor last time despite a higher mark. He has a further rise to contend with today but that’s negated by Ross Turner’s 7lb allowance and he gets the nod. Lightentertainment is upped in class after finishing second at Newton Abbot while Al Destoor is a decent handicapper on the Flat but has had six previous outings over timber without success. One Forty Seven and Dulce Panem need to improve while Satellite’s novice hurdle success came on fast ground.
