Reivers Lodge was a 100/1 chance when second at Hexham last month and it may not pay to take that form at face value. Blue Comet was in front when slipping after jumping the second-last at Market Rasen. He failed to recover and only finished third but is one for the short-list here if managing a clear round. OTTER MOON may be worth another chance over a longer trip after a couple of placed efforts over 2m at Ludlow and Uttoxeter and just gets the nod ahead of likely improver Loud And Clear, third on hurdling debut at Bangor, and winning pointer Special Prep.
