Scoop The Pot was second off this mark over fences at Sedgefield 11 days ago and has won three times over hurdles. Dalaman was raised 10lb for winning at Bangor in October but should still be competitive having won here in the past along with Blue Hussar and Presence Felt. All Hail Caesar placed at Catterick last month but hasn’t made the frame in two previous visits here. BLASTER YEATS clearly found 2m much too short last time at Hexham and can finally get his head in front now tackling a more suitable trip
