Mr Chua is a decent staying handicapper on the Flat and has performed in better company in three starts over hurdles. Finisher had only shown moderate form before scoring at Doncaster for which he's been raised 7lb. Dual point-to-point winner Bird On The Wire has shown nothing in three starts over hurdles and makes his handicap debut but SINCERELY RESDEV won a Sedgefield handicap on good going in November and the drying ground is in his favour. LLeyton has won twice at Wolverhampton recently and isn't without a chance with conditions to suit while Silkstone has gradually dropped to a winnable mark.
