JIMMY RABBITTE should have won last time and the handicapper has taken that into account. Nevertheless, the longer trip and the return of Sam Twiston-Davies in the saddle are factors that could see further improvement forthcoming.
Pink Eyed Pedro has been in good form lately but the return to more conventional hurdles may place less emphasis on his jumping, whilst
Dovils Date is significantly higher in the weights and taking on much better horses than for his last three starts.
Airton may do better with his rider's claim making him far more attractively weighted, but the other three runners have something to prove after recent poor efforts.
