OSTEND (4) scored a big win 28 days back in a steeplechase (3800m) at Market Rasen. That result followed a solid third in a steeplechase (3500m) at Bangor-On-Dee the run before. Sure to prove hard to beat. DENEMETHY (2) registered a sound second 50 days back in a steeplechase (3400m) at Market Rasen. That result was on the back of a solid second in a steeplechase (3200m) at Leicester two starts ago. No surprise to see him in the finish again. RATTLING ROAD (5) was most recently at the races two months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4020m) at Newcastle, beaten a nose. Genuine jumper with three wins to his name from 10 appearances. Will be thereabouts at the business end. DARE TO SHOUT (1) did well to finish second two back in a steeplechase (4100m) at Ayr then ran a nice race last time found a couple better in a steeplechase (5240m) at Kelso 32 days ago, 11 lengths behind the winner. Leading contender again.
