Plenty of recent winners to consider but JUSTFORJAMES finally took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring at Sedgefield with previous winner Cash Again back in third and has won off higher marks over hurdles in the past. Grove Silver should go well again raised 4lb for winning over track and trip while Presenting Junior returns to action 6lb higher than when successful at Cartmel last summer. Doktor Glaz opened his account over fences when scoring at Doncaster and Zayfire Aramis ran well again at Huntingdon last time having won at Leicester earlier.
