Frozen Over goes well fresh and likes it here - he was in good form around this last year off similar marks. Space Oddity won over further here last month, when subsequent winner Justatenner was only fourth, but was then only fourth himself at Exeter and has no form on ground this quick. Unison may lack the experience for a race like this but Sandford Castle and My Lord make each-way appeal at the weights. DISCAY can race off the same mark as when bolting up over fences at Market Rasen 10 days ago and is well handicapped on his form over hurdles a couple of years ago – a follow-up is on the cards.
