PURE SURF (8) has been racing well. Won two starts back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Newcastle then was very competitive last time, beaten just a neck into second in a steeplechase (3860m) at Sedgefield. Looks very hard to beat. TOOMBRIDGE (9) is a 17-start maiden who last appeared when fifth, beaten 11 lengths, in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newcastle nearly three weeks ago. Best efforts measure up and he is a strong top-three hope. LOW MILEAGE (6) did a reasonable job when he finished second in a steeplechase (4100m) at Musselburgh two runs back. Less effective last time when 27 lengths away in seventh in a steeplechase (4000m) at Hexham. Expect a return to form. TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS (1) was unplaced two starts back in a hurdle (4100m) at Market Rasen then produced a better result last start when he wound up in fourth, beaten 14 lengths, in a steeplechase (5300m) at Sedgefield. Capable of turning things around.
