Gary Moore has two entries and DAREBIN, placed in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot last month, looks better than San Pedro De Senam at this stage and his overall form can prove too much for these rivals. No Dice was having his first start for Fergal O'Brien after arriving from Ireland when well supported at Uttoxeter but finished a long way last while Capitoul hasn't looked the best of jumpers over timber and makes his chasing debut. Nightfly went up 6lb for scoring at Southwell in December and didn't enjoy the soft ground when runner-up at Ludlow while both Ballycamp and Its A Sting have had enough chances.
