POTTERS HEDGER has been racing in better company since scoring at Plumpton at this level a year ago. He jumps well and stays the trip so can get back to winning ways. One More Fleurie is still a maiden but should be winning soon judged on last month's run at Haydock where he was always in the front rank and battled on well though he could have done without a 3lb rise. Crystal Lad is 1-13 over hurdles though is now on his lowest ever mark so has to be respected but the maiden Chloe's Court keeps going up in the weights without winning. The veteran Little Boy Boru stays the trip and will like the ground though has been well beaten in recent starts.
