Chief Brody has looked a few pounds high since landing a course and distance handicap in October while Black Abbey hasn't really looked like winning. Nachi Falls has done his winning on much quicker ground while winning point-to-pointer Neetside may find this on the short side after a neck defeat over 2m5f here last time. SIENNA ROYALE has been a frustrating type as she's been well supported the last twice. She appeared to find 2m4f stretching her stamina at Leicester in November and this shorter trip should be to her liking.
