Heritage Way is 17lb out of the handicap and hasn't run for over two years. Micky Hammond saddles half of the entries. Justforjames has won twice over hurdles here but has yet to show any real potential over the bigger obstacles. Paddling had been in good form, winning at Catterick in December, before blown away by INSTANT REPLAY over slightly further here last month. The winner had scored over the course and distance earlier and a hat-trick beckons.
