Coozan George has let supporters down on his two latest starts over fences and was never travelling at Market Rasen last month. HOUNDSCOURT hasn't been running badly and the fact that he's 5lb lower than his last victory gives him a fine chance of returning to winning ways. Amilliontimes has been handed another 2lb drop after his third at Kelso and he'll be taking advantage before long but Pay The King has had nine runs over fences and rarely looked like winning. Bennys Well scored at around this trip at Market Rasen and it was a surprise when he didn't perform as well over much further at Sedgefield as he'd won over that track and trip previously. To Begin showed enough at Taunton last month, his first start since November, to suggest he'll be thereabouts.
