Early Morning Dew has finished with a rare rattle the last twice at Uttoxeter but he has been found wanting over this longer trip in the past, though is still only five. Heart Of Kernow has won over course and distance and over 3m, however, so will have no problems stepping up in distance and bids for a fourth course victory. Red Ochre won over 2m5f at Kelso but there is no guarantee he’ll reproduce that form raised 7lb, though he appears to hold Sputnik on the form book. Click And Collect is 0-12 but FOILLAN (NAP) has generally been heading in the right direction and makes his handicap debut in modest company off a mark from which he should be capable of winning.
