Mouskersize went close in a Tramore maiden hurdle in October but has disappointed since. It's A Mans World has also been out of sorts but Dealing River won easily over fences at Worcester during the week and will be a threat to all if transferring that form back to the smaller obstacles. Bold Henmie and Peadar Miguel were 1-2 at Uttoxeter last week but even though the winner has a penalty he may be capable of confirming the form as the second is a frustrating sort. TOLEDO GOLD is rated 23lb lower than over fences and it may be worth taking a chance that a switch back to the smaller obstacles could spark a revival.
