Verdict
Houndscourt won over 2m6f here last week but was beaten 13 lengths by Degooch over course and distance in March and is only a pound better off. Roseville Cottage also has a chance of reversing earlier running with Joanne Foster's charge, though hasn't raced for a while. SHARP RISE won over course and distance in October and returned from a break to make all over hurdles here last week. Unexposed, he remains on a decent mark and can complete the hat-trick. Safari Journey finally took advantage of a tumbling mark at Newcastle in March but has been pulled up since on soft going at Uttoxeter.
