Western Jo won over 2m4f here last month but has not won in 12 previous tries over this longer trip. BITVIEW COLIN reverts to chasing off a 4lb lower mark having won a Class 3 handicap over hurdles here last time. He's been placed twice over the larger obstacles and can notch a first victory today as Jump For Dough is having his first run for new connections and also making his chasing bow. Dubai Devils is proving hard to place while Ronn The Conn and Teddy Tee may need this.
