Descaro won twice at Ludlow earlier this year but has disappointed in a couple of sellers lately and, despite looking well treated at the weights here, is probably worth taking on. SUPER COLLIDER won at Bangor last month and wasn't beaten far in a much better race at Ffos Las subsequently. A repeat of either effort would probably suffice here as Diamond Tammy was flattered by the margin of his victory in a Uttoxeter seller last time and the fact that Solo Jugadores is making his hurdling debut in this grade is not encouraging. Crescent Beach showed promise last year but has had his problems recently.
