Run To Fly has run up a hat-trick in minor company but has climbed the weights as a result and is probably worth opposing in this better grade. Tarquinius was pulled up at Wincanton after a lay-off and King Jack returns from a break but HOPEFUL START wasn't disgraced on his reappearance at Carlisle and has probably been underestimated on his first start in a handicap over fences. He has a lot more scope than the majority of his rivals and AP McCoy is back on board today for the first time in a year. Mortimers Cross and Master D'Or have both won around here in the past and could figure, though neither has shown a great deal lately.
