Could bounce back for inform yard. (Forecast 15.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: THREE STAR GENERAL lurks on a good mark and ran well from the front at Uttoxeter last time. If similar tactics are pulled off here he could be hard to catch under Bryony Frost. Jabulani is another who is wellhandicapped if reviving back over hurdles, while Hexhamwinner Saint Freule can go well again if keeping up a good attitude.

Not discounted. (Forecast 11.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: VOLCANO and Hastrubal both have low mileage and could be the pair to focus on. The latter has chased home progressive types in 2 starts this season and is not passed over at all lightly. Still, preference is for Nigel TwistonDavies' charge, who finished clear of the rest when going close at Uttoxeter and should have more to offer as a stayer.
