Always Tipsy is on the upgrade and looked as though he would be ideally suited by this trip after scoring over 2m4f at Musselburgh. Playhara completed a four-timer last spring and looked as though she was on the way back at Doncaster last time but this looks one for Jonjo and A P McCoy with AT RECEPTION. He hasn't had much racing since scoring at Southwell last March and showed at Doncaster last time that a victory is imminent. Waterclock almost got to Hail The Brave over the track and trip last time, despite several mistakes, so a better round of jumping would see him in the firing-line while winning point-to-pointer Not A Bother Boy showed his first sign of form over timber at Southwell where he was just run out of it over a longer trip.
