Another course record on the chase course in this modest handicap so the ground may well have been quickest over fences.

INARO had not run for over four months but bounced back to something approaching his best under a good ride to grab the spoilsclose home after a number had a chance at the final fence. He has gone well fresh inn the past so that might be the key to him.

Blaze Ahead had won at the course last month over a longer trip and looked like following up until nabbed close home bythe winner. He is still not badly treated on his hurdles form and there should be a chance for him to regain winning ways.

One Nation puts the race into perspective as he had only won a seller last time. He responded to his rider's urgings, but there cannot be too much improvement in him at the age of 13.

Rookery Lad has not won for two years and has an exposed look to him.
