In depth
Verdict
Misty Mai won over fences at Ffos Las earlier and is 7lb higher back over hurdles. KNOCKNAMONA also scored over the larger obstacles when successful here last month and finished runner-up reverting to hurdling at Uttoxeter last time. He’s won off a similar mark over timber in the past and is preferred to Cash Again. The latter finally got off the mark over hurdles when scoring by only a length at Sedgefield and is raised 5lb while Out The Glen drops in class but is 9lb higher than when last successful. Call Simon posted a better effort at Warwick on his handicap debut and has more scope than most.
