Awaywiththegreys has been a bit disappointing lately but is actually a pound better off than when beating Hansupfordetroit over course and distance in December as the handicapper is giving the latter little respite. Rydon Pynes should do better with a Newbury run under his belt while Firebird Flyer isn't badly treated back over hurdles. Madness Light is another to consider while the maiden Robbie Rabbit handled to step up to 3m at Uttoxeter and could go well off a low weight. KATKEAU is Tom Scudamore's only ride for boss David Pipe here today and enjoys a big turnaround in the weights with Awaywiththegreys and Hansupfordetroit than when pulled up here in December. Earlier runs at Cheltenham and Haydock are more indicative of his ability. Kayf Moss has another Pipe runner, Virtuel D'Oudon, well behind over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time but might struggle under his big weight.
