EL MUCHACHO (3) is racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts last five starts including placing third in a Newcastle handicap chase a month ago. Expected to challenge. ISLE OF SARK (2) improved from a seventh at Southwell contesting a handicap hurdle when third attempting a handicap chase at Sedgefield on most recent appearance four weeks ago. Will be thereabouts. LONE SOLDIER (7) makes some attraction from bottom of the weights. Finished runner-up last time out at Warwick and may go one better. JASMIN DE COTTE (1) cannot be discounted after a last-start third in a Uttoxeter handicap chase.
