GRACCHUS DE BALME (1) failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (4500m) at Leicester two starts back. Bounced back last time to get the prize by one length in a steeplechase (4220m) at Aintree. All set to make it two on the trot. MUSIC DRIVE (5) won two back in a point to point (4800m) at Brocklesby Park then didn't fire last time when he finished fourth in a steeplechase (5300m) at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Certainly worth another chance. MACKLIN (3) is resuming from a layoff of three months. Had just the one run last preparation, finishing second in a point to point (4800m) at Milborne St Andrew. Capable type with top-three prospects. MONTANNA (4) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, beaten 8 lengths into second in a point to point (4800m) at Ston Easton. Hard to knock.
