Verdict
A switch to fences has brought about the expected improvement in ex-pointer WADDINGTOWN HERO (NAP), who won easily at Ffos Las after finishing a close-up third at Huntingdon. He's 9lb higher here but has the scope to defy the extra. Definitely Better, on the other hand, hasn't taken to the larger obstacles so far while Molko Jack is still 3lb higher than last successful at Hexham a year ago. Fellow veterans Noble Witness, Rebel High and Phoenix Des Mottes are also hard to fancy and none of the others look good enough.
