Lodgician returned to form at Cartmel last time and has a 7lb penalty to contend with. Royal Trooper was the subject of a gamble on his handicap debut at Worcester and is looking to make amends as he was narrowly beaten under McCoy. Chilbury Hill reverts to hurdling off a lower mark having landed a double over fences earlier this month and he can figure but DRAWN FREE is just preferred. He went close in better company at Newton Abbot three weeks ago and can take advantage of this drop in class.
