Some Chaos has been raised 7lb for winning a veterans’ chase at Chepstow but Cobra De Mai can’t get much lower in the weights and has been hinting at a revival, finishing third last time at Chepstow when ahead of subsequent course winner Irish Prophecy, who is worse off at the weights. Storm Home improved over the summer but was beaten when falling at Exeter last month. Truckers Lodge needs further and the mud so it’s no surprise to see Harry Cobden on stablemate HIGHLAND HUNTER. The eight-year-old gave 16lb and a beating to Innisfree Lad at Carlisle last season and remains unexposed over fences. El Presente beat Potterman a short-head in this last year and the pair meet on the same terms but Hurricane Harvey and Ofalltheginjoints have a bit to prove nowadays.
