It may be worth siding with WAR DEFENDER in this trappy-looking affair. He was down the field at Redcar when last seen 6 months ago but he's evidently more of a force on artificial surfaces and is now 1 lb lower than for his C&D success last January. Chief's Will pulled out all the stops when scoring at Southwell and is feared off just 2 lb higher, while Asdaa and Plastic Paddy should also have parts to play.
