He's struggled on his last two runs but perhaps wind op/cheekpieces will make a difference

Front-runner; under pressure when falling last time but 3-3 in handicap chases previously
5 G Good Donald McCain 163 124 5/1
Open: 5/1
3

In good form at Chepstow on last two starts; optimism he'll be fine back down in trip

The Grafter (IRE)
2-2 over fences and something to spare each time; may well have more left in the tank

Arrives on a five-timer and latest 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 8yo

Hard to fancy on chasing evidence but this Irish raider is well treated on his hurdle form

Open: 6/1

Likes it here & has won twice this term but needs to be better than ever back up in grade

Two wins at Sedgefield this season but 8lb wrong today and the cheekpieces are left off
