Dynamic Drive scored easily at Hexham under today's conditional last time but has been raised 11lb for his troubles. Sleep In First went close over fences at Sedgefield recently but has to race off a 5lb higher mark back over timber. MIGHTY WHITEY (NAP) makes more appeal, despite a rise in the weights for winning at Sedgefield last month, as he drops down a grade for this - Noel Kelly's charge can go in again and confirm latest running with Push Me in the process. Muwalla has been running well over the larger obstacles and looks best of the rest.
