FURTHER MORE is a strapping individual and should make a chaser. He travelled strongly for a long way at Plumpton last time when sent off favourite and could be suited by the drop back to 2m. Emma Lavelle's novice gets the nod ahead of Le Grand Chene, who probably needed his run at Chepstow last month. Bobby Dove looked promising when winning at Huntingdon in January but has barely raised a gallop in two runs this season and Gizzit may need further help from the handicapper. Prickles has shown little so far over the larger obstacles.
