A very interesting contest here with four last-time winners plus Fire And Rain and we will side with Golan Way to score. Sheena West's runner recorded a decent time when dotting up at Huntingdon on debut and this trip plus fast ground suit. Clearly open to a bit of improvement over hurdles, the four-year-old may represent some value against the others three last-time scorers. One of those is Sendani. Paul Nicholls' gelding was also a good winner at Aintree last time. He has to prove that he handles ground this quick, and the runner-up at Liverpool, Speed Up, didn't do a great deal for the form at Sedgefield on Wednesday, so he is no cert. Haddaaf will relish conditions and trip and was the easy winner of a race that cut up at Uttoxeter last time, but he is not opposed lightly. Henry Daly's Beherayn attempts to complete a hat-trick here and is officially rated the best of this lot, so with conditions again to suit he won't be far away despite a penalty. Fire And Rain won on debut on the level for Aidan O'Brien before flopping in some exhalted company. Emma Lavelle now handles the five-year-old and we would not rule out a real good run from him. Even so, Golan Way caught they eye last time and can prove good enough here.
