HAB SAB does most of his racing here and bids for a course and distance hat-trick raised 7lb. Another bold bid from the front looks likely and Linda Jewell’s charge can go close again. Krujers Girl is fitted with headgear on the back of a fourth at Leicester while Chain Smoker won at Fontwell back in January and returns to action. Brother Bennett has won off a similar mark and posted a better effort over these fences last time while Gentleman's Dream will be straighter for last month’s chasing debut at Hereford.
