Dollys Destination won a novice event here on her third start over hurdles last month and has travelled over from Northern Ireland again but has to conceded 11lb to JACK LAMB including Billy Garrity’s claim. Jedd O’Keeffe’s charge was still close up when unseating his rider last time at Sedgefield having chased home the well-treated Solo Saxophone at Wetherby before that. Stable companion Native Fighter is unexposed over timber and Oscar Nomination arrives in peak form but this looks a big ask under top weight for Dr Hooves and course specialist Tickenwolf might need this.
