Make Me A Fortune landed a couple of handicaps over these hurdles in December and a conditional's 10lb claim should give him the edge over Wilberdragon in this. The latter opened his account over timber with a victory at Bangor last time. But RELIC ROCK makes most appeal back over a shorter trip having found only the progressive Glingerburn too good when runner-up at Doncaster in November. Rock N Rhythm ran well on his hurdling debut at Carlisle last month and can also figure with normal progress.
