Verdict

CALSHOT SPIT is fit after a good run on the Flat and has dipped below his last winning mark in this sphere, so is taken to defy top weight. Market House and Cooler Than Me are feared most.

1	Helped by a wayward runner-up when making a winning reappearance at Fontwell last season. Had plausible excuses next 3 starts and arrives fit following a couple of spins on the Flat (ran well last time). Needs considering having now dipped below last winning mark. 1st Pick 1 Calshot Spit (Ire) Jockey: Marc Goldstein Trainer: Sheena West J: Marc Goldstein T: Sheena West	100	-	-	-	29%

2	Shaped as if in form back hurdling after 11 weeks off at Plumpton 2 weeks ago, caught further back than ideal off a steady pace. Can build on that so likely player. 2nd Pick 2 Market House (Ire) Jockey: Rian Corcoran Trainer: James Owen J: Rian Corcoran T: James Owen	99	-	-	-	20%

6	Lightly-raced 8-y-o who has responded very well to the fitting of headgear, landing a gamble at Market Rasen on handicap debut before following up at Taunton. Good placed efforts both starts since and can go well again on return. 3rd Pick 6 Cooler Than Me Jockey: Fern O'brien Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Fern O'brien T: Fergal O'brien	98	-	-	-	34%
