My Nosy Rosy was always travelling well when getting off the mark over fences at Chepstow nine days ago. She's got a penalty in this but recorded her only hurdles win around here and has obvious claims. ASHCOTT BOY has only made the frame once over fences so far but won twice here over hurdles around this time last year and will have needed his latest run at Plumpton. At the likely odds, Neil Mulholland's charge may be better value with a relatively experienced amateur doing the steering. Mount Vesuvius needs more back over fences but veteran Cool Bob would have a squeak on his best form and The Purchaser is only 3lb higher than when scoring at Market Rasen back in May.
