The only recent winning form is that of WON MORE NIGHT, albeit over fences, and she makes reasonable appeal with her yard currently ticking along nicely with their summer jumpers. She is 8lb higher over fences than hurdles but displayed fair form over timber earlier in the season and looks the safest option against some predominantly out-of-form rivals. Galileo Figaro disappointed when backed into favouritism at Market Rasen and although it's worth checking to see if support arrives again, Endeavor, fourth that day, appeals as a more likely sort. Oranger lacks consistency but has gone well here in the past and a repeat of a short head defeat at the hands of Heezagrey last month would put him bang in the picture.
