SPADESTEP (2) posted back-to-back seconds with the first of those over 3180m at Aintree then was beaten 1.3L attempting 3300m at Doncaster. Holding form well and looks the one to beat. Leading contender. PONY SOPRANO (1) bounced back finishing third tackling 3300m at Haydock Park after a miss at Exeter. If replicating may get get involved late. Holds claims. DOUBLE DIGITS (3) improved switching codes finishing 16L fourth contesting 3900m at Sedgefield after a Carlisle hurdle defeat. Needs another step up. Cannot be ruled out. Warrants consideration. THE GRAFTER (4) returns from ten months away after a 9L third in a 3200m hurdle at Uttoxeter last campaign. Makes appeal.
