Officer In Command went close in a maiden hurdle here before finishing tailed off at Stratford last time and could be thereabouts, while Bob's Dream ended last season with a much better effort over fences and should figure if transferring that form back to the smaller obstacles. However, GROSS PROPHET got off the mark over timber with a cosy win at Chepstow earlier this month and can defy a 9lb rise with further progress on the cards. Morocchius needs to step up on his form in plating company and Qualitee has a bit to find on the evidence of last season's efforts.
