RUSSIAN EXILE (NAP) posted his best effort over timber so far when runner-up at Taunton. He can race off the same mark here and is preferred to Crackle Lyn Rosie. The latter also showed improvement when third at Sedgefield but the The Wire Flyer disappointed raised 11lb at Fontwell for an earlier success at Ffos Las. Glorious Dane has yet to win over hurdles and has switched yards having won a seller at Wolverhampton while Checkinforsquirels never threatened over timber last summer but makes her handicap debut on her return to action and is worth a second glance.
