Rabski won a Ffos Las bumper in the autumn but he’s been very disappointing over hurdles. CADDYHILL placed in maidens at Hereford and Southwell earlier in the campaign. He was out of his depth on his latest outing at Cheltenham and could be the answer to a race that probably won’t take much winning. Mackelduff is likely to have improved since fourth at Uttoxeter in November and is preferred to last month’s Doncaster third Kensington Art of the others.
