It was good ground when THE FLAME won at Southwell last week. He should go close again despite the penalty. Kilronan Castle won over fences in December snd scored off a higher mark than today the last time he raced over timber though that was back in 2016. Mamoo is now back on the same mark as when scoring at Fakenham last year and could figure but Catcher On The Go continues to struggle despite sliding down the weights. Mr Mafia finished a lot closer at Catterick last time and is preferred to the returning Tidestream.
