Intensive schooling sessions worked the trick for Kiruna Peak but she won’t find it easy to defy a 6lb higher mark here. The Road Home beat Cool Valley 10 lengths at Hexham but has been raised 8lb, as has Sedgefield scorer Lovely Schtuff. Cool Country has placed twice at Bangor and remains unexposed, though needs some help from the handicapper. WISE COCO makes his chasing bow racing off his hurdles mark. He only won once over the smaller obstacles but has returned from a break in decent form and should be thereabouts in this if taking to fences.
