Another good opportunity for the Keighley team with DREAMSUNDERMYFEET. The son of Yeats struck form with a vengeance at this track with two facile hurdling victories in the space of a week last month and can complete the three-timer if proving equally effective tackling fences. Generation Gap didn't run badly at Uttoxeter last time despite failing to follow up a narrow Exeter success and could be the one to benefit if the selection fails to reproduce his form over the larger obstacles. Fil D'ariane returns from wind surgery with a tongue tie reapplied and first-time cheekpieces but Court Duty, better the last day and fairly treated, is preferred for the shortlist.
