Stayed on for good fourth over 2m7f last time and this longer trip could suit
2	Lissen To The Lady Bay J:Miss J Walton(5) T:Sandy Forster	J:Miss J Walton(5) T:Sandy Forster	162	p	30116-	101	107	82	41d	—	—	+16	29	1.38/1	11/2 15%
3-time course winner who scored twice in a row at Hexham in March; below par here latest

Good 2nd off this mark over h'dles recently; effective over hurdles in the past; respected

Unproven over hurdles but on a handy mark on best chase form and not written off
3	The Blame Game Bay J:Brian Hughes T:James Ewart	J:Brian Hughes T:James Ewart	154	—	8PP51-	93	111	73	94d	—	—	+10	23.2	1.00/1	5 20%

0-14 but fair efforts the last twice and might not be far away
7	Placedela Concorde Bay J:Conor Rabbitt(7) T:Maurice Barnes	J:Conor Rabbitt(7) T:Maurice Barnes	142	tp	8/6-38	81	108	79	10d	—	—	+4	9.1	3.75/1	16 6%
On a long losing run and hard to fancy from 5lb out of the handicap; cheekpieces go on
