Alltimegold has proved a consistent sort over hurdles and fences over the last 12 months and has solid claims again here. All Good Things won at Uttoxeter ion November and has twice finished second at Southwell this season so also warrants a mention but Philip Hobbs takes the opportunity to run DEMOPOLIS over hurdles off the same mark off which he was impressive here last week over fences. He did win over the smaller obstacles in France, though his future does lie in chases. Sarasota Star looks to be improving with experience and can also get involved.
