Itoldyou won this off a higher mark last year but has been struggling since returning to action in November. Saroque has not been at his best either recently but stays all day and Richard Johnson's presence suggest better is expected. Blameitalonmyroots has won two of her four starts over fences and is only 3lb higher than her latest success at Uttoxeter but KRACKATOA KING is preferred. Beaten only a length by Incentivise over 3m5f at Warwick a fortnight ago, Noel Williams' charge can race off the same mark today. Tour Des Champs has been just short of his best recently but is not badly weighted if back to form and is preferred to Coolking, who reverts to chasing having won a couple of low grade hurdle races recently.
