Verdict
Dica probably came up against a couple of decent novices at Sedgefield on his reappearance 10 days ago. He should strip fitter here and gets 7lb from Kai Broon, who has been a beaten favourite in two of his last three starts and doesn't appear to find much off the bridle. MAOI CHINN TIRE was a decent hurdler and won over 2m on the Flat last month. If he can transfer that ability to fences, he should take all the beating today. Bogside has ability but has become disappointing and may find a couple too good again here.
