Romeo Brown was only caught close home over a trip too short at Wetherby earlier this month but NAVAJO PASS (NAP) is a potential blot on the handicap back over hurdles having won as he liked over 2m on heavy going on the Flat recently. Twice a Grade 2 winner over timber, he has won over this trip on soft ground. High Moon has shown a liking for this track and Good Risk At All was very progressive last season and can be forgiven his run in a Grade 1 at Aintree on his final start. Ailie Rose could also figure if fully wound-up but Silver Hallmark may be having a pipe-opener.
