WOOD YER has won both starts over the larger obstacles and, though just scraping home at Huntingdon on Boxing Day, is still heading in the right direction and fancied to complete his hat-trick here. Unforgettable is getting closer and only found the in-form Niceonefrankie too good at Leicester 10 days ago while Way Back When still has a bit of scope, though she was a little disappointing at Newbury last time. Double The Trouble is a C&D winner but hasn't shown much this term and is likely to do better when the ground dries out a little.
