Milton Harris saddles two in our opener and while Cabrakan has won two hurdling starts, this race has generally been won by older horses so APPRECIATE is preferred of the pair given that he's been kept ticking over with a run on the Flat. Fenna's Loss remains lightly raced and made all to win at Hexham with seemingly plenty left in the locker. Wavering Down is likely to appreciate this drop in trip having been worn down over further at Uttoxeter while Dream Jet has a first outing for Brian Ellison and it looks significant that Brian Hughes has been booked for the mount. Pardon Me won her last two but hasn't run for 252 days so a market check appears prudent.
