Lastofthecosmics showed his liking for soft ground when just failing to get up over the course and distance last month, his first ever placed effort. MISS AMELIA (NAP) won a heavy-ground handicap chase at Bangor in December before reverting to hurdles here last month where she was held in second when falling at the last. She can gain compensation as though Sincerely Resdev made all for his maiden victory at Sedgefield he's been hit with an 8lb rise. Talkingpicturestv has never run well on this sort of ground but the lightly-raced City Never Sleeps will be better for a recent run at Uttoxeter, his first since September 2018.
