Dawerann is likely to be popular for the Elliott team given he gets in here off a reduced chase mark. His two most recent outings over hurdles have been a bit underwhelming and in eight starts over these obstacles he is yet to convince this is the job for him. For that reason, he is worth taking on now. This isn't a strong contest and so there's every chance BELLGROVE can capitalise and gain a second win over fences. He has been running credibly without winning this season and is weighted to hold every chance. Handicap debutants Floral Fantasy and Simiel are worth looking out for in the betting while Ballyfinboy could be a player if he turns up in the mood.
