Our Reward was less than fluent at Ffos Las on his chasing bow and finished a well beaten third. But CHARLIE WINGNUT posted a decent effort on his debut over fences at Wetherby back on Boxing Day last year. Sue Smith’s charge should figure with normal progress and is preferred to Thyne For Gold, who never threatened when placed at Sedgefield last time. Wyfield Rose has been struggling over hurdles and was well beaten on an earlier chasing bow while Lowcarr Motion has won just the once over timber in 17 attempts.
