BOLSOVER BILL completed a track and trip double when landing a conditionals' race last month and didn't have a penalty when landing a hat-trick at Ffos Las a week later. He's been put up 10lb but looks capable of going in again. Roccowithlove made his stamina count when making all over 3m1f on heavy ground here a couple of weeks ago but he may not be as effective over this trip on less testing ground. Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Mcgarry was having his first start over fences and returning from a long break when placed at Newcastle on Boxing Day but last year's winner Relkadam has twice finished a long way behind the selection here in recent weeks.
