PITTSBURG (1) comes here following two wins in succession. Scored in a steeplechase (3400m) at this track two runs ago then again proved too strong when he won by 5 lengths in a steeplechase (3200m) at Hereford on April 10. At the peak of his powers and looks tough to beat again. ROYAL MAX (4) returned from a spell last start with a win in a steeplechase (3280m) at Sedgefield with today's rider Sean Quinlan aboard. Sure to be right there again. GRAIN TRADE (3) returned from a break last start in a hurdle (4140m) at Huntingdon but failed to finish. Forgive the recent mishap; deserves another chance. GETAWAY JEWEL (7) returns from a 124-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing sixth in a steeplechase (3140m) at Catterick, beaten 34 lengths. Sure to be primed and expected to be prominent.
